Not Feeling Too Secure
FOUND by Allison Gilley
in Seattle, Washington
I found this on First Avenue. It was nighttime and raining (of course). I think it captures some underlying discontent, or restlessness, or pointlessness that is detectable in this city where everything seems new.

else's life. Anything goes...
I like how the "M" in "Monte" is shadowed. This person has unusual handwriting: all caps with a triangular "A." The letter contains quite a bit of personal, introspective information ("I'm not feeling too secure...") that normally would be spoken about in person. Do these people see each other much?
I love how she casually slips in the fact that she is looking for a new job. It's like a child who knows that what they're about to say is going to upset their parents and they try to slip it in as quickly and unobtrusively as possible.
I love seeing notes like these, since many people hese days try and substitute beautiful written communication with a "txt msg".
I like this note quite a lot, and I'm fascinated by the all caps and triangular A's handwriting! I've always wanted to have such distinctive handwriting...
Roommates who still communicate by notes... reminds me of college :) They probably don't see each other much what with trying to pay rent and picking up random shifts and looking for new jobs.
Hope she found something good!
Yes, The "A" is a triangle and the "E" is just 3 horizontal lines.
