    I was looking for for my copy of ChronoTrigger in the basement when I came across this box from when I was 15/17. These are some of the letters and notes girls used to send me. Most of them are folded normally. However some of them range from unusual to insane. The origami folded ones I literally haven't opened in 15+ years because I don't wanna fuck up the folds trying to get them back the same way. Is this a thing or was I just living in a different timeline?

    This one is similar but different? idk what these girls were doing.
    >>
    Then there's this one. Which came from another girl. Where were girls learning these styles?
    >>
    Huh.. I thought the letter folding was kinda interesting. I guess not lol.
    >>
    Im 43. I used to see these in high school. I actually found one stuffed in an old box the last time I moved. I unfolded it and took a picture of the note. Never thought about grabbing one all folded up.

    Man that takes me back. I'm not sure I ever got one that complicated but yeah we used to pass them back and forward to kids on different bus routes.
    In hindsight they probably put in a bunch of effort I didn't appreciate. I wonder if some Cleo magazine or something taught them it.
    >>
    I would love to see more examples if anyone has them.

    [spoiler] That's really cute [/spoiler]

    we used to fold paper in this style back in school but not for love messages but to play some kind of randomiser game with different stuff written behind each flap
    >>
    Damn, this takes me way back. I autisticly saved ever note I ever got. I may pull out the box and snap some pictures. It was no secret that every girl knew how to fold like this. God knows where they all learned it. Seems like there was one that was most commonly used where I was from and it was similar to this >>629456. Occasionally they'd include a little pull tab for easy opening. Clever girls.

    I got this one ALL the time from multiple girls in middle to high school.

    >I don't wanna fuck up the folds trying to get them back the same way
    that was the origin

    i'm 49
    it was a lock
    they all learned to fold in middle school
    most people couldn't open it without her knowing, that was the point
    plus "pretty"
    they kept them in their rooms hidden wherever
    inside secret openings in the plastic cover of their trapper keeper
    if it was long, she would work on it at different times, using different pens

    it's just one of those things girls used to do
    when hens gaggle up, shit gets weird
    their periods sync up
    they start talking like each other
    they were all capable of writing cursive in this particular loopy bubbly font that was exclusive to girls

    most young men today will never know the joy of getting a note like that
    dabbed with perfume & s.w.a.k.

    grim

    i myself used to make picrel
    half the wrapper
    green pea sized ball of gum
    one straight staple

    sticks in suspended ceilings like you wouldn't believe
    a janitor turned me in for smoking in the boys room once
    God only knows how many times i made that man carry & climb a ladder that year
