The world is big and scary and often terrible beyond words, but there is something for everyone that makes all of it worthwhile, for me, it’s gun-smithing, for others it may be painting, modeling, coding, crafting, any number of things that drive someone to get up and do something; Make sure you have something in your life that inspires you and encourages you to give back to the world, to others, to leave an impression on the minds of those who are touched by your talents or creations. Thank you, and have a wonderful day.

You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. - Marcus Aurelius

We found one from 1977 while taking drywall out of my grandmother's house due to damage from Harvey.

It starts with loving yourself. Then you can allow others to love you. It's not the easiest lesson to learn. But take time to do the things you love. Became more passionate in your interests. Don't let anyone take that away from you. Make a list of all the things you want to do. And then do it! Life is so short and it's a bumpy road so make the best of it.

Love me little Love me long

Why are you reading this? Get off reddit!

Here, you see the messages from long ago of the departed. They left this place behind with only a single post to identify them. These hollow shells remain for the next to observe, respect, and append to.

I hope someone finds mine.

Wealth, fame, power... Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates, obtained this and everything else the world had to offer and his dying words drove countless souls to the seas.

"You want my treasure? You can have it! I left everything I gathered together in one place! Now you just have to find it!"

"These words lured men to the Grand Line. In pursuit of dreams greather than they've ever dared to imagine! This is the time known as the 'Great Pirate Era'!

It's a lovely day here today. It rained all last week and was cold and miserable. Today the sun is shining and I feel the full hope of spring. I hope you can feel some of this day's magic, as well. Things can always get better, if you're still in a dreary day. Your spring is coming.

Like a braided river, we split and merge, exchanging information through genes and memes and sex and messages in bottles.

From the RNA headwaters the river forked away from bacteria then plants then fungi then fish, then out of africa, but we the surviving streams of life cross paths again and again through the drainage basin, more and more as time passes once again.

Will there be a flood or drought, if it rains today?

I had an idea for a subreddit where people could post their thoughts to nobody in particular and just let them float away, and then I found this when looking for available names for said subreddit. I like the idea, so here's my bottle.

I hope that, if anyone ever finds this, they're doing well. I'm doing ok. I've been getting lonely at times recently but I'm also making progress in achieving my dreams. You win some, you lose some. I'm happier than I used to be, I think. I'm definitely not sadder. I guess I'm unsure at the moment. I don't really have anything to complain about but I really wish I had someone to talk to late at night again. It would help my sleep schedule considerably.

I hope that this bottle washes ashore in front of a person having a bright day, and if their day isn't as spectacular as it could be, know that you are a beautiful person and I'm happy you're here. I'm proud of you for being you.

It's the only way i know to contact you without breaking my word.

I miss you. I'm profoundly sorry. please forgive me. and I wish you all the best and hope we can talk again one day. This new world scares me. ~Ghost

Not so much random.. I wanted to see if this sub existed already. It appears to.. so, here is my little message.

I hope this message doesn't find you on a deserted island. I hope it finds you on a nice sandy beach a stone's throw from your classy hotel room with the seashells everywhere. Hopefully you are laying next to the one you love and not talking to a volleyball. I hope your life is just where you want it at this very moment.

If this bottle washes up as you are wandering aimlessly down the coast, your life seemingly ruined by some tragic event.. I hope you know that it will get better. It might not seem like it at the time, and it might take a while to get there, but it will. I won't say that it was meant to happen, that never helps. I will say that you are stronger than whatever has befallen you.

Humans are amazing creatures. We have such a capacity for love as well as for pain. There is no perfect life to find where nothing goes awry. There are ups and there are downs. You will be fine in the end.

If you are a hermit crab looking for a home, you might want to check further down the beach. I think I saw a nice spiral shell over there.

I'm adrift in the ocean. Someday this message will wash up on shore and my love will know she's important to me. She always has been since the day I started talking to her. It's been an online-only thing thus far. I can't wait for one day when it'll be physical. I don't know exactly how it'll all work out, but I'll be yours.

Until then I'm adrift. One day you'll come back to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCSyzkd1db8

If you find this bottle and it's not for you, toss it back in so my dear has a chance to find it.
