You captured my heart in a way that no one else has. Circumstances do not allow us to be together, but I pine for you. You are hopelessly attractive, especially in uniform, you're articulate, kind, incredibly easy to be around. Your "traditional" singing makes me fall mesmerized, silent. Illness is cruel and I'm sorry your life will not escape the cruel blow of death. *hug* No matter what happens or doesn't happen, I love the bond that we've forged, the conversation, the beer, the staying up too late, the campfires and just being. We will always be the best of friends. —Spider monkey

I was purchasing the most disgusting array of grocery store goods I could find. Naturally I chose the self-checkout line to avoid judgment. And that's when I saw you; the bearded, be-spectacled grocer of Windsor St... I hope you didn't see what I was purchasing because I would maybe like to get to know you. —Girl Afriad

It was pouring rain the other day when you got on the number 7. When you rang for your stop and the bus driver missed it, you went up to him and told him; he said "Oh no - I'm sorry - and it's pouring rain!" You put your hand on his shoulder and told him "No worries, all right?" and went out and got soaked. Most of us would have been pissed, so thanks for being kind to him, and to us. — Hates getting rained on

Just a little bit shy of two months ago, you stormed into our shared dwelling and let me know that you were super unhappy and that it was over, after a pretty long stint together and two years of living together, I grabbed my ipod and went for a long walk trying to figure out what I was going to do. Thankfully I didnt have to think too long and thanks to the help of some super awesome friends I was able to move out and move on without looking back. I wanted to say thank you for finally making me realize everything that I was missing out on by trying to make you happy day after day. I forgot who I was and how awesome I am as a person. I figured out that I would much rather hang out with people who legitimately wanted to hang out with me and liked me for me, not someone who ridiculed my every move and made me feel terrible all the time. Thanks for opening my eyes —north

To the waitress, you have the most adorable smile I have every seen in my life. —Nobody

Loving all the beautiful gardens this year. It seems like there are more and more popping up each year. Thank you to everyone putting effort into making Halifax a nicer place to live in, even if it's not the intention we all benefit from it. :)

All able, grab a spade and seed! Let's make this city even more beautiful to live in (and let's be honest, some parts of this city really need beautifying. Imagine if we all pitched in?) —Optimistic

Yes. Yes. Yes. Just yes. —lesbian just not into a fucking "scene"

Beautiful Black Goddess … we met while watching the Pride Parade, near the CBC building across from the Public Gardens. You said you liked my (dental) braces and I liked you too, immediately. I should have asked for your name and number. But I didn’t and I regret it. I’d really like to see you again. Can we meet this coming Saturday, at the Victory Arms Pub, in the Lord Nelson Hotel, at 1 p.m.? I’ll wait for you. —Taken by surprise

To the lady in the Burgundy Jeep Compass in the Portland St Tim Horton's Drive-thru.......THANK YOU for paying for my order this morning. I've heard of this happening to other people before and today it was my turn. I paid it forward and paid for the car behind me. His order was smaller than mine by $2 so I gladly gave the difference to the girls at the window. I had to work at my office this morning and was overtired and a bit grumpy...your generosity made my frown turn upside down--a complete 180. You're awesome! —Smiling at the Office :)

From the depths of sadness and disappointment to excitement, laughter and wonderful people in my life. Thanks to those who had compassion and to love me when I struggled so badly to right myself again. To those who drifted away, thanks for showing me that my happiness is tied to me and not to you. It's all so very good!! —Proud of the bumps on this road
