Slightly obsessed with the idea of leaving messages and notes for your loved ones in unfamiliar places. Not just a sticky note that says "I love you" on the fridge, but a letter in the pocket of their coat that reads, "whenever you may find this I hope your day is as wonderful as you are". Lately I've been finding hope in what may be considered as cheesy or corny. Leaving a small memento, a necklace, a keychain, a pressed flower amongst their belongings. That whenever they should find it, it brings them a different nature of happiness than what they have encountered in the day. The purpose is not about the satisfaction that they've recieved your thoughts but the knowledge that their happiness is your happiness.
