NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:
This NYC missed connection references an interesting point – how easily one can become addicted to “trolling” for messages with personal meaning. Is it possible to have your dearest wish come true only to see it turned upside down? Absolutely.
Fortune Cookie
Missed Connections in Manhattan
While away I had a cookie with a fortune inside that said, “Your dearest wish will come true.” It gave me hope because I was so afraid that I was never going to see you again. Every song that I listened while away reminded me of you. I went to bed thinking that maybe we had telepathy. Then I saw you when I came home – or so I thought – the day after I told myself – “This is crazy, you don’t even know what he looks like anymore! Get over it.” I couldn’t believe I saw you finally – or so I thought. It gave me more hope. I saved that fortune in my wallet. I don’t know what happened to it – but I still hope it was right. If you love me you will understand that I have to work, I like work, and I don’t want to screw it up (because I don’t want to leave NY), and if I keep this up (“trolling” this damn site) I will, so I’m going to be disciplined and stop if not for us, then for me. This place is crazy and confusing – but my love for you really isn’t. It’s pretty basic… unconditional.
