PAST NOTES

analog instant messages

you have found my collection of passed notes from the 90s, welcome.

spanning from the beginning of 1995 to junior year of high school in 1998, a note, reproduced verbatim from the original with the exception of all names, is posted to this blog in the order I'd received it. each post contains one note, and a brief narration of the back story as best I can remember it.

there will also be, from time to time, relevant photos, songs, videos, links, objects, quotes, diaries, poems, and other ephemera (all admittedly completely self-indulgent and wince-inducing).

“ day by day
i see you in the
hallway
it does hurt
all though i never
act like it
i’m too kool and too
full of pride
to show you ruined my
stride
inside it hurts, & i
want you back
outside i dont know
what to feel? remorse
and regret
and hope and love
i still do want another
to ment my heart
cuz its broken
inside and i want you
to read this
it be like showing
my feelings to you
but i just cant i’m so dumb
i’m letting this pain go on
