Letters

tealCity8225 October 29th, 2023

I miss the time when people wrote letters. The time and effort of writing a letter is beautiful. Didnt matter if it was a post card or a 5 page letter. Someone took the time to find paper. Maybe even a oretty pen, some folded it in a special way, the time to write it out, find a envelope, a stamp. Putting it in thr mailbox and waiting and watching. Getting a reply was such a warm feeling. I miss writing letters.


I remember once i got a letter from someone i didnt know. They were in prison. He just wanted someone to write to him, to tell him about their day. He had no one. Picked my address out of a phone book at random.


We wrote to eachother for over 2 years. Then one day the letters just stopped. I never found out why, but was gratefuk to have gotten the chance to know him. I wish i stikl received handwritten letters. It always made my day.

Well, if you still wish to receive handwritten letters there's plenty of services available online to connect with pen pals. 🤠

@Leonydus  That's true!  A couple of years ago, I found an online group of people that love to send and receive post cards from all over the world.  I had a few sent to my neighbor (she collected post cards from all over the world), and I sent a few out, as well.  Was a fun way to boost my mood.  😄
