Why Are We Here?

I found this while closing shop at the cafe where I work. I think a girl, who was practicing what she learned at massage school, dropped it.

Love Tess

I found this on the street in front of a liquor store. I found it a few years ago but I kept it in my wallet. It seems really desperate to me.

The Other Stuff

Stepped outside my apartment to have a cigarette and found this paper tucked into the top of my neighbor’s bush.
