12 years later, is love still enough?
My friend bought me this journal from a goodwill for my birthday. This beautiful and revealing letter was on the first page, while every other page was left blank. Thought I needed to share.
Unhappy New Year!
The author of this New Year’s Day reflection looks to be a very lonely and dramatic 18-year old. I’ve got a feeling he’d make a really good boyfriend if she’d ever give him a chance. New Year’s get better once you’re old enough to drink.
A Beautiful Butterfly
Found this crumpled up into a tight little ball, on the street in the fairly downtrodden Tenderloin District. Kinda sad that such a heartfelt message of hope got discarded with such intention.
Battery
I was working at a Red Cross shelter set up to aid victims of an apartment fire. These guys lost everything, so we were taking donations of clothing. In one bag of clothes, I found the attached note.
Not Baby-Baby, My Man
Another mysterious paper from one of the university recycling bins during move-out week. For a lot of students, college offers more than just academic growth.
Avoid Fringe
This is a page from the diary of a freshman college student that I found it at a rummage sale.
It Was a Good Day
I found this in the hallways of my high school two years ago.
Justice
This is from a school journal I found lying on the street. What follows is sea sickness, famine, and one hellish night spent on a floating plank of wood in black freezing water. That’s enough to seize the darkest corners of insanity … because she stole a lighter. Stay tuned.
The Mind of Sarah
A friend of mine (janitor) found a diary while taking out the trash. Sarah is just your average boy crazy 5th grader.
I Hate Art
This is from a tiny diary I found in my backyard.
