Maybe not the usually topic for this community, but there is paper and pen involved, so close enough?
Basically I decided on a whim to send a handwritten letter to a friend of mine. I don’t think I ever did that before. I didn’t even really know what to say, so it’s just a few lines long. But nevertheless, I put in an envelope, got stamps and now it’s on its way.
Well, what can I say. Now, I am sitting here like a little kid before Christmas waiting for the letter to arrive!
We basically text everyday and I did not tell her, so it will be a surprise. I am really exited for her reaction.
I already am thinking about sending a postcard to another friend. Just because. It just seems like such an easy way to give out a little happiness to someone? And I really enjoyed sitting down and taking time to craft the letter. Even if I struggled to come up with things to say, it feels so different to sending text messages or e-mails that arrive instantly.
Anyway, this also got me curious. Do some of you guys still send out handwritten letters? Or is it something you consider a thing of the past?
Oh I love the idea of sending pressed flowers or little things. It’s like little tokens. I would totally love to receive something like that from a friend or family member.
If you are consider doing it already, totally go for it!
And regarding the content of the letter. As I already said in a different comment: i basically wrote about how I don’t know what to write. I was also feeling silly and just leaned into it. It was just a short message…barely filling a A5 page.
And if you decide to as a little something like the presses flower, you can write about that, too.
I’ll keep this in mind! We have mostly snow and ice here in Sweden right now, so not very fun haha.
I do have a bunch of letters already, so I just need to stuff them :D
