Oftentimes Twitter can Sisterbe an overwhelmingly negative online hub for complaining, sharing controversial political beliefs, and other hell-ish 280-character vents — but behold, an exception.
Today, you should sit back, relax, and read this glorious Twitter thread that details a DJ's interactions with Grammy award-winning musician and actor Wyclef Jeanover the years.
The mind-blowing, unexpected journey just might help restore your faith in humanity.

J.Period sent the letter debating Wyclef on the meaning of one of his lyrics to the address on the back of his Fugees album. He never dreamed he'd hear back, but by some miracle, Wyclef both received andresponded to the letter.
The musician went so far as to call J.Period to discuss the letter, leaving a voicemail -- that he preserved on cassette and more recently transferred to his computer, so everyone could hear Wyclef's response.
Wyclef can be heard saying "What's up kid, I got your message," and then gave J.Period his personal phone number to call and chat like it was NBD.

J.Period went on to explain that he called Wycelf back and the two talked for nearly an hour.
Then something reallywild happened: Wyclef dedicated a lyric to J.Period (the Kid) on the Fugees 1996 album, The Score.

"I was just a fan, and the fact that Wyclef went so far to bless me will never be forgotten," the DJ tweeted.
But the story wasn't over yet. J.Period grew up to become a music producer. He worked on a Lauryn Hill mixtape and recently had the chance to meet Wyclef again after a friend — Bob Marley's son, Rohan — asked him to work on the Fugees song "Take It Easy."
"Irony was: Clef didn’t realize I was the same kid," J.Period wrote. "When he found out, it blew his mind. Somehow the Kid who’d written a letter had written himself all the way into the studio, and putting cuts on that last Fugees song was like a final stamp on the story. Ultimate full circle."

After seeing J.Period's account of the journey on Twitter, Wyclef responded, saying that seeing him was a blessing.
"Life always comes full circle," he wrote. "I hope this can be an inspiration to all the young talent so they never stop believing."

The story was so engaging that even Lin-Manuel Miranda — who worked with J.Period on The Hamilton Mixtape— was amazed.
Twitter, why can't things alwaysbe this nice?
