ABOUT THIS FOUND YOU_

More than 8 million people call New York City home, and somehow, it can still feel like one of the loneliest places in the world.

You can pass thousands of people in a day and convince yourself that everyone else has somewhere to be, someone to go home to, or life a little more figured out than you do.

But the more people I've met here, the more I've realized how rarely that's actually true.

At different points, we're all looking for the same things.

• LOVE.
• HOPE.
• ADVICE.
• CONNECTION.
• COURAGE.
• SOMETIMES, JUST A SIGN THAT WE'RE HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

This Found You was created to make those invisible things a little more visible.

Every message here is left anonymously by one stranger for another.

You don't know who wrote the words you find, and they don't know who will eventually read them.

Maybe they've been where you are.
Maybe they needed the exact same thing once.
Maybe they still do.

In a city of millions, there's something comforting about discovering that whatever you're carrying, you probably aren't carrying it alone.

TAKE WHAT YOU NEED.
LEAVE SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

Maybe this found you for a reason.
