Best Days Give You Memories

I found this in the parking lot at work, crumpled up against the exit door, stuck there by the wind. It seems that this person was attempting to better themselves – I hope, maybe, by sharing it here it can be advice to other people who need to hear it.

Summer is Now Quite Past

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.
