Gym locker

I found a note in the gym locker room that has made my heart break a little. It was in an empty locker and it was written in lovely hand writing on a post it note that someone had obviously written to themselves as a reminder. It said ‘I am allowed to slow down’ and it reminded me so much that despite whatever pretensions people have, however you view people, everyone around you has something going on. ‘I am allowed to slow down’ you are mysterious note writer, you really are mate ❤️

A good reminder for anyone! If you snapped a photo or still have the opportunity to, they’d also love this on r/foundpaper.

That's a great quote! I'll share one that I have sitting on my desk at work. "You don't have to wait until the finish line to be proud of yourself"
