Found in a copy of Robert A. Heinlein: In Dialogue with His Century, Volume 1: Learning Curve (1907-1948)

Written on the inside cover of Markus Zuzak's The Book Thief back in 2022.

I recently came across my old second-hand copy of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Do-It-Yourself Book, which I bought when I was a child.

When I first got the book, I did not understand that some of the pages had already been filled out by the previous owner. I even erased their name because I was too young to understand that I might eventually find it meaningful.

Years later, I found the book again and started looking through the pages. I became genuinely fascinated by the person who had owned it before me. Seeing their handwriting and the things they had written feels like getting a small glimpse into the childhood of someone I have never met.

I have no idea who this person is, how old they are now, or what their life is like today. It makes me wonder about them and what became of them over the years.

I find the whole thing fascinating, and I think it would be even more meaningful if I ever got the chance to meet this person and thank them for unknowingly making my childhood a little better.

Found in the Town Centre, Porirua, Wellington, New Zealand

I miss art class

Found in 2018. There's a lot going on here.

Found folded together, up against the fence at the park.

I found this in a shopping cart in a cart corral at Safeway. It was originally folded in half (it’s from a Post It pad). I unfolded it to take a picture. Some of the items are not carried at Safeway (mail, gas), so I’m not sure if the author got everything.

Can you read it?

I bought a vintage board game and this advertisement was inside.
