This is me expressing my distaste for modern communication. I am longing, no, YEARNING to write letters. To anyone really - friends, romantic interests, family - all of the above. Why on godās green earth are we not taking advantage of such an artful and intentional means of communicating with one another. Boo tomato tomato, we all failed the test. I hate texting. Let me send you stickers and love notes. What is wrong will us all!!?

Physical letters aren't just for corny love notes and eviction notices! They can be a really good way of communicating things that are too long for texting but too personal to say aloud. I feel like the convenience of texting can be deceptively dishonest, itās often more genuine to let something bleed out on a page. It also just feels cool as fuck to write one, I like to imagine Iām some aristocrat main character in a period piece. Maybe light a candle if you want to be extra pretentious.

This one is kind of a āno shitā because people have sent letters for like centuries but I think right now at least in America itās seen as a novelty. itās so hard to take true time to myself - time that isnāt work or browsing Reddit or fucking around on iPhone or playing video games but time to sitting down to hand write a letter to a dear loved one makes me consider what is true and what is rotten in my life. The āformā of letter with like a start middle and end and meandering along the way is hard to express in other forms. Like are you gonna text your mom all that shit?

If I haven't spoken to my friend in at least three months, I start to ask if they want to send letters. If you don't communicate for months or years, you might as well send letters: they're practically just as fast but with depth and physicality! Who doesn't love some paper treasures! Plus, it provides a Victorian-drama level of yearning in waiting to continue a conversation. There is nothing I have savored more than checking for a reply after sending a letter. I open my mailbox every Sunday. I am aware of this error in logic, but I love it every time I do it. I am a child again, and I am joyfully impatient. Not only is it mail, but it's mail from a friend: the best kind.

Sending mail is already magical as it is, but these stamps have taken it to a whole new level. Big fan.

You will surprise yourself and you will connect with the coolest groups of people. Donāt let imposter syndrome or rejection stop you. Get rejected one hundred times. Itās worth it for the times youāll be seen and accepted and supported. And you get to support others while youāre at it.
