Go Look at Your Love/Lust/Like Notes
While doing my ritual of not sleeping for a whole night each summer, I came across a MySpace comment I wrote to a boy a while back about his football/drumming. It just got me thinking about all those past moments where you had crushes, what you thought was love, and what you now think is love. It's amazing how looking at the past those things have changed a great deal with time and it's hilarious how many hours you spend writing, talking, texting, and showing your love interest you care. Yes, some moments led to nothing, some led to happiness, and others led to total heartbreak. But it seems like looking back in a time of reflection, they were all worth it. So I encourage everyone to look back on those old letters they might've decided to keep from their first crush, look up your first Xanga entry about your first "gf", and maybe a few saucy texts here and there.
This little note is dedicated to those little boys who hopefully grown into men that that I wrote little texts, comments, and notes/letters to. <3.

My love/lust/like notes just make me feel like crap...
I hate writing cutesy little notes. It just seems too fake to me. :|
my boyfriend and I write little letters and stick them in each other's mailboxes during the school year. Sometimes super randomly. I LOVE reading what he has written to me. What I wrote? I've only written to him so... yeah. But I have looked at my facebook wall-to-wall with him... and haha I'm just complementing him ALL the time
and making fun of him.
I treasure all my memories, good and bad ones. =) so yeah they're cool.
a lot of times, they weren't really worth it but i can say that i had some happy moments.
I love keeping things, especially old notes and diary entries-- but not dwelling. I always find a way to learn from experiences because it is through our experiences and life lessons, that we grow. They are really funny to look at later on.
@ViciousGrin63@xanga - I know what you mean. Or uncomfortable when you find one from an ex.
I throw them out when I feel they're unnecessary.. I kind of regret that ):
I just looked through some, and a lot of them made me gag... haha, talk about sappy...
hmm i remember those things... i remember feeling how foolish I am for even thinking the way I did!
I keep everythingggg that I've recieved. The only thing I haven't kept is when a boy gave me BACK everything I gave him. arghhhh. But I love reading through some of em, some just make me sad though
Hahaha. All of those things from the past make me laugh now. They seemed important at the time, but they were just steps I had to go through in life to get where I am today. Happily married and fully aware of the reality of real love. And it's much more powerful than anything I've ever experienced in the past.
Yeah reading back makes me feel worse. Just reminds me how amazing my lady was, and hurts more cause we had so much and she lost it all so quick,
Maybe this is slightly creepy, but I actually have a whole box filled with notes like that, from the infamous "Dear John" letters to the "Do you like me? Check yes or no" note from a guy I liked for about ten minutes at summer camp.
I love writing my boyfriend love letters, but he doesn't appreciate them as much as I do. It's hard to get him to write me a letter since he complains about his handwriting.
I probably write about 10 letters to 1 of his.
Hm. For the most part the ones I just had crushes on make me smile... but the ones from and about the guys I really cared about still hurt... Life lessons though but at the time, they were all worth it.
I just really wish I didn't shred all the notes from this one guy into tiny pieces only to realize as soon as I was done I wanted them all...
I have a note from a boy in 6th grade who confessed that he liked me on the back of a green index card. It never came to anything, but fond, fond memories. My current boyfriend reads the letters I've sent him from time to time, and he always calls me to tell me he's thinking about me. =)
Yeah, I saved allll that old stuff. Like all of it. Its in a giant shoebox under a bed in my parent's house. All my g/fs back then were freaky as hell... and had zero spelling skills.
I don't think I'm quite brave enough to do this...I'm capable of producing some pretty nauseating mush once I really get to liking someone, and I'd rather not be reminded of all the dumb guys I've had a thing for in the past, thanks! >_<
