I left a note on the train. Then my friend’s cousin got on and sat by it. I later asked him if he found it, he never :( But, hopefully somebody else did :D
How to leave little messages, quotations,pieces of art etc. for strangers to find
How I did it: On Valentine's Day evening, a friend and I decided the library would be pretty empty. So we brought post its and pens. We were right; no one was there. We wrote post its and drew pictures and basically tagged the library. It was great to walk across campus the next day and hear people talking about the post its in the library. Some of them are still there 2 months later!
Lessons & tips: It's really fun if you make it into a game. No one can see you leave them!
Resources: Post its

BloodRedThorn wants people to add a book to her goal of list the books one must read
Never look down on anybody, unless your helping him up.
Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet. ~James Openheim
BloodRedThorn wants people to add a book to her goal of list the books one must read
Gonna get starting on this goal tomorrow!
And I’ll make a list of quotes I’m gonna use and post them here!
This is a lovely idea… I think I’m going to leave a little note in the next book I’m going to give back to the library… Great way to get to know new people too =) I think I’m going to write something nice and beneath my e-mail and leave it inside a book I loved and I know will be read by someone I’d like to know :D
When I was on holiday once I bought ‘A Little Book Of Hugs’. It’s basically a little book full of nice quotes… I decided to write these on post it notes to leave around town, along with some of my own messages. :)
it sounds like so much fun! to do it or even to read them. I would thing i would leave post it note quotes from my favorite songs! and probably cool doodles! i should do this with a couple of friends during the summer!
I figured I’d need some post it notes if I’m going to do this goal so I bought some when I went the shop for my mum. I’m going to listen to some happy songs now and write some lyrics on them. I think one message I am going to write is…
‘You make me happy, whether you know it or not’
This quote is from the single Happy by Nevershoutnever! aka Christofer Drew Ingle. I chose this because I think doing this will make me, and the people who find them happy, but they won’t know it’s from me.
I am definately going to do this! This is an amazing idea, I love it! It would make my day if I found a little note from someone. :) I’m going to find some quotes/lyrics to put on post it notes in my purse ready to leave. Next time I got to town I will leave messages telling people they are beautiful or loved or some equally happy message. I might even consider drawing some pictures, but that may not turn out good… I’m not the best at drawing. Oh, and I want to leave notes in library books, maybe a list of my favourite books for someone to read.
Also, I am going to buy another copy of my favourite books and leave them in places, maybe a cafe, bus stop, train, etc. I will leave a little note on the inside cover telling whoever finds the book why i left it, asking them to read it and leave it somewhere else with their own little note. Maybe one day I would come across the book again.
heart_beat is hopeful.
I folded an origami crane with these words written on its wings:
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
-Jack Kerouac
I am leaving it on a train tomorrow.
