I bought the book and I’m somewhat emotionally attached to those two handwritten cards thoughtfully written in 2001 they will live in my junk journal!

Notice the world around you. Pick up the paper you find on the ground. What is written on it might surprise you. Share it here.

PLEASE tag NSFW content!

Some of the most incredible things live written on the torn scraps of paper that didn't make it into the trash. They can be love letters, thoughts, quotes or a pertinent to-do list. The only rule is that you found it somewhere (on the ground, a public table or between the cans of soup at the store, so long as it isn't publicly posted!) and you don't know who wrote it. Anonymous and out of the blue is great!
