Victoria & Michael: Love Notes and Scrapbooks.
By. J. Michael Jeffries
My ex and I had this sweet game we’d play where we’d write short notes to each other and leave them in special hiding places where eventually they’d be found and remind us how much we cared for one another. We’d also write short children’s stories about our love which was to help us remember the sweetness of love and our youthful joy in the relationship.
I wrote this short story about a fantasy childhood meeting between a lonely boy named Michael and a kindhearted girl, Victoria, that meet on a fate filled and share some great adventures together. Being a children’s story it had a happy ending, which unfortunately real-life doesn’t always follow. Ultimately I completed the story by putting it in a journal and drawing childlike pictures to add dimension to the text. I also narrated the story and took some great photos of the book to add depth and movement to the story.

We broke-up in May 2012, but I still continue to think of my lost love at least once a day. Ultimately I’ve dreamt of reuniting with her; however I really don’t foresee that happening. Rather than keeping this work tucked away I want to share it with the world and hopefully inspire others to use their artistic talents to the highest expectations. Though my love story continues as a single life story, my expectations for others remains open and I believe this may help individuals understand the beauty of love; although it may be lost, it does exist. Please use this as inspiration, and hold on to whatever love you may find.
Victoria & Michael get married.
