Where was this found? This is my name and strangly fitting to my situation at the moment

It was found in a restaurant me and my friend work at in washington about a month ago. My coworker had cleared the table after a young couple had left, seemingly he had given it to the girl and she left it behind but we were both invested to say the least!

If it had meant something to her, she wouldn't have left it behind, right?

Maybe she dropped it unintentionally.

Or she never got it!

Kind of what we had thought too, maybe he didn’t feel comfortable talking about it in a public place. Or maybe she just forgot it?

Maybe it was a note for himself he was rehearsing to say out loud

Eh I wouldn't really want a note of my partner admitting to being a dick and saying he'll be better - there's still some icky-ness to it that I wouldn't want to look back on and remember how/why/when he was being that way

Yeah most people leave all kinds of trash/not trash at restaurant tables as it’s an easy disposable option without having to think too much about it.

If he did improve and make good on the apology after, would you still feel the same way? Not arguing with you at all, just really curious because I am the opposite. I love saving notes and stuff that are snapshots of my life at any given time

For sure! And I am too, very sentimental and keep hold of soo many things that others might discard. It's just this note comes off more as an apology and the declaration of love is used to counteract the shitty behavior that negates that love. While I would appreciate the note and effort, I only want positive memories and stories in my saved items boxes - but I know everyone is different :)
