Yes Do You Feel Sad

July 22, 2012

FOUND by John Dulworth in Midtown West, Manhattan, New York

This find so touched me. I was kind of flooded with a mix of memories and emotions when I realized what I was holding. First off, I was happy to discover that kids still pass notes. With all the technology advancements and changes in just the last 15 to 20 years, I’d imagined that there was nothing that still connected the school kid generations. As I picked this note up, I was transported back in time to when I was a kid in school, feeling immediately connected to these two young souls. I send out silent prayers to them in hopes that everyone is well and happy.

Meltdown in the Hay

December 15, 2010

FOUND by Jaclyn in an elementary school

As I was walking out of class one day, I found a small envelope with a picture inside with a small note, that simply said, “So much for a smooth landing” in 2006.

FOUND by Cat from Montreal in Melbourne, Australia

I found this note in a little wooden box I bought at a flea market. It broke my heart because it looks like Katherine was crying while she wrote this– there are little tear stains on the paper. It also looks like this letter was read many, many times. The paper is torn like a map you fold and unfold too many times.

Frineds

May 19, 2009

FOUND by Tucker in a parking lot

My old roommate found this in a parking lot not too far from a school. The face looks like a girl to me, so I imagine it’s just some random kid who got into your normal chick fight with her best “frined.”

Dear Mom

FOUND by Jen at camp

I’m a counselor at a camp and I found this on the floor after all the campers left.

They Tricked Me

February 26, 2008

FOUND by Morethanmedium in Colorado

I found this note written on Keebler stationary in the case of a Polaroid camera purchased at a flea market… Tampered brake lines, deception, heartbreak.

Lost Love

March 29, 2007

FOUND by SoulBecket in Hollywood, California

Found lying on the sidewalk. It had been duct-taped to a pole like many others in the neighborhood. I don’t know if he ever found love again. So it goes.
