    mlogan480 is tired

    I believe you are the ocean 4 days ago

    The internet is the new ocean. It is not as romantic but the chances of a message written to someone has just as much likely hood of finding the right person as a message in a bottle.
    My message

    Dear Melissa R

    What can I say… I believe that if this message finds you then our story is not over. However I feel like a creep that I have liked you for so long and can not just stop liking you. I know I do not know a lot about you. We had a car ride that was good but became strained when I became worried about things working out. I was not really sure what I was doing or why. It all seemed too weird and I thought that it could never really work. I knew that I was leaving and you were starting your life elsewhere. I looked into jobs here for you but never got back to you about it. I think I made some mistakes and that the time was not right, and perhaps the time will never be right and that is just the way it is. I do not think of you everyday or week. I just think about you when people ask me the last time I had butterflies in my stomache. I have been with other women but no one that I was excited to hear or see smile or be in their presence. I am the one who puts the show on for everyone to laugh and smile but your smile was the one that I wanted. (THis is super creepy) So I will try to calm things down. Someday I believe you will find this maybe you’ll be fifty and married with 7 kids and having a bad day so you surf the net and find this note and smile or get totally creeped out and laugh either way this is the ocean and it will not find you unless it was meant for you. Perhaps this is just for me as a way to know that I can do no more and should let it all be. Take Care, Live Well, Laugh Always

    Kullerauge is getting better

    The bottle is standing here... 1 week ago

    with a little message inside. I only have to find a way to throw it into a river or canal (we have a canal just a few hundred meters away from the house).
    I would love to throw it into the sea, but I don’t think I will be able to go anywhere near the sea anytime soon.



    tripthelight is starting with little goals first!

    i was going to give up on this goal 2 weeks ago

    because the thought in my mind was tossing a bottle out into the ocean… that would be littering! Then, i came up with something! i’m going to SEND a HAND WRITTEN LETTER stuck INSIDE A BOTTLE to MY MOTHER telling her why I FORGAVE HER. :)

    i have no clue what to write to whomever might find it.
    i think that may be the hardest part of this goal.



    Untitled 4 weeks ago

    I want to send a message in a bottle. It sounds really fun and it would be so cool if it made it somewhere other than where I sent it.



    I really wish to send one 4 weeks ago

    My dream is to do this the day i really fall in love. I want to send one on the Hudson telling everyone that i finally feel accomplished and that from that moment on i would spend my life with that person coz love is forever.

    Im getting married in December in Namibia and was thinking of sending a message in a bottle on our wedding day. Perhaps early in the morning at sunrise before it gets really busy. Still have to think of what to write in the message…...
