So if anyone was wondering, I have two thirds of a life

I found a note tucked into a book called The Lady Who Was Beautiful Inside by Edward Monkton. It was a note written in pencil from an ex-boyfriend. This is what was on it:

Essentials for Life

-someone to love

-something to do

-something to hope for

I’ve got hope back. And I’m on the path to finding something to do.

How are you fairing?

  1. i love finding old notes in books. even if they’re from ex-boyfriends.

  2. I think if you’ve got 2/3 of the list, you’re doing okay.

  3. This is very good news! I’m hoping you’re doing well!

  4. I guess I have all three … but I’m always wanting more.

  5. I like this list, very much. And I agree – if you have 2 of the 3, then you’re doing pretty good.

  6. I have my family and friends to love, but nobody in a romantic sense.

    I have plenty to do, and a lot of it I enjoy doing.

    And I also have hope.

    So is that 3/3 or 2/3. Or 2.5/3?

  7. I’d say I have them all. And so do you!

    Nowhere does it say that “someone to love” has to be in the *romantic* sense, now does it?

  8. I’d add “someone who loves you back” because just having someone to love but without the feeling being mutual is not always the best of things, eh?

    And no cheating kids, it’s obvious that it’s in the romantic sense :P

  9. I need to start leaving notes in books!

  10. 3/3 so what exactly am I searching for ?

  11. Hi Hope, hope you’ve been well… i love it.

    I will keep it to myself on which i don’t quite have…hmmm. Or maybe I do…

    Coz even if you only have 1.5/3 and you get all 3 of them, are we ever gonna be really happy?
