write back soon

i still have all of my high school and middle school notes. they are all in several shoe boxes in my mom's garage waiting. i am not sure what to do with them. half of me wants to open up all of the neatly folded little triangles and see what was written to me and by whom... and the other half of me wants to burn them.

do most people have old teenage notes hidden away somewhere to look back on one day? i am not sure i want to look back. what i'm actually afraid of is someone else looking back at my life. someone discovering my boxes of notes, like sunken treasure, and piecing my life together one folded triangle at a time. someone peeking into my drama filled life of boy troubles and 'who said what to whom about whoever'.

i wonder if the teenagers of today write notes? the text message is the new note. i guess there is less of a danger of getting caught if you can send the note electronically. but text messages can't be saved for 10+ years in your mom's garage collecting dust waiting for someone to open them up and read them or to be burned.

i think i will burn them.

(after i read them.)
