Who doesn’t love a sweet message? I can still remember my
note passing days in Jr. high School. Slipping messages in lockers, sneaking
them behind a teacher’s back, or the bold move of giving it to a friend to give
to another friend. Regardless of the recipient, the note must be folded in an
amazing way that leaves them wondering how you achieved something of that
magnitude. I don’t recall many of the messages providing me with life altering
news, although at 14 everything does seem a bit heightened. No, for me, they
were random, sometimes quirky conversations between my friends and I; detailing
the news of 3rd period, the newest crush, or overheard news of so
and so liking so and so. Today, we’ve moved from paper and pens in every color
to text messages, blurbs on a Facebook wall, or perhaps even a subtle picture
on Instagram. It doesn’t feel the same but I think the intention has stayed the
same. Maybe you don’t have the time to talk on the phone or even the know how
to fold an ultra-cool note; maybe they are 2300 miles away. And maybe you just
wanted to say hello.
