Whatever we are sold about what budding romances and healthy relationships looks like by Hollywood, the real thing is always going to be different. In reality, we can be kind and affectionate to one another, but the grand gestures aren't all that important, and
we can often focus too much on the people who got away from us, rather than those we should care more about.
The real important things end up being small moments of love, and they are rarely pure, conventional platitudes. Instead they are simple, funny, and often a little bit strange. Honesty, of course, is key - which you can definitely tell from these love notes real people have left each other.

I tell you what, I related to a lot of these messages, but I need to start using them myself. With all the texting we do nowadays, handwritten notes like this have kind of fallen to the wayside, but they look like a hell of a lot of fun to do.
