Things We Forget

I once found a fossil while hiking. It made me realize how small and temporary everything really is—and how beautiful that can be.

I found a friendship bracelet on the ground during a hard day. I took it as a sign that connection still exists, even when you feel alone.

The coolest thing I’ve found was a notebook filled with my old poems. I forgot how brave I used to be with words.

I found an unopened letter in a used book. I never opened it—but I still have it. Some mysteries are better kept.

I found an old photo of my parents when they were young and carefree. It’s now framed in my living room, reminding me that they were people before they were…

The coolest thing I’ve ever found is confidence. Once I picked it up, I never put it down again.

I found a seashell with a spiral so perfect it looked carved by an artist. I kept it to remind myself that nature is the best designer.

I found a stray cat on a cold winter night. I brought her home. She found me just as much as I found her.

I once found $20 on the sidewalk—but I used it to buy coffee for the person behind me. Best exchange rate ever.

The coolest thing I’ve ever found? Myself. After years of pretending to be someone else.
