Pen pal letters...post it note doodles...mini folded zines...tiny abstract paintings...fun stickers...etc.! I've even printed out silly internet memes and made paper collages with them. Postal correspondence is a great way to brighten someone's day...and opening your mailbox to find an envelope hand-addressed to you with Good Stuff inside from someone you care about? It sure beats just getting bills and junk mail!

Nothing is sweeter than spontaneous mail!! Go to your local post office, buy some stamps, sit down, monologue your current feelings/thoughts/ideas/drama/complaints on paper and send it off. If you're lucky, your friends will write you back and if you're like me, you can hoard every letter you've ever received and then read them back and revel in your own nostalgia.

Send handwritten letters or little drawings to your friends! Maybe they will send you one back! It's such a nice feeling to be posted something sentimental!

- small flat trinkets like cool business cards or other things that would fit inside the envelope that reminded me of the person I was sending it to

I was a pretty self-centered kid (as most of us are, developmentally) until I went through some things that made me expand my own horizons surrounding how I judge/don't judge other people. It's good to remember that we're all trying our best out here.
