two folded love notes

that I still have memorized 
all these years later 

note #1:

Marla,

When I teased you 
in Math and Reading, 
I was just trying to show you 
I liked you.

Jeremy (1987)

and note #2:

Marla,

You made me feel like 
I was somebody.

Mary (2012)

I kind of miss getting 
passed a note / you too?

Last week I shared some words I had written in a book in 2006 that I DO NOT LIKE ANYMORE, and today I shared some words I still do. 

I mean the note from my 6th grade boyfriend is ridiculous (although I can still remember how much it made my heart flutter) but that note that Mary handed me after a women’s retreat I spoke at IS MY VERY FAVORITE.

Do you have any notes from a long time ago that you’ve committed to memory?

Speaking of old words, my friend Cara Meredith and I have a couple spots still available for our Upcycling Words that No Longer Fit writing workshop TONIGHT!! We would LOVE for you to join us! Click here to register!
