I know I’ve talked about this before (roughly like a few months ago) but there is just so much I love about handwritten letters. 

I just finished writing my friend a letter and just realized how personal they can be. Just putting the pen to paper makes it personal. No one has the exact same handwriting as you so when you make the effort to actually write it out, I feel it shows you care just a little bit more. I’m not sure about how other people write letters, but I know I write them exactly like how I speak. Well that goes for anything written by me I guess. I’d say I have pretty strong voice in everything I write, but in letters I just feel like it’s even more of myself in it ya know? 

Well I don’t know about you but I just love receiving mail. Mail that isn’t like junk or report cards and stuff. I RARELY get mail. I don’t even get birthday invites mailed to me. Remember when you were in like 3rd and 4th grade and all your invitations to parties were sent through the mail? Yeah I miss that. Now all you get is like some mass facebook message or something and then people have stupid conversations about totally unrelated stuff on that post and you are stuck with all those pointless god damn email notifications…. But I’m not going to go into how frustrating that is. Yeah when I get mail nowadays it’s either a magazine subscription, spam or something else I don’t want, or money from whatever birthday or holiday has accrued recently (that kind of mail I love to get :D) but I NEVER get any letters from anyone. That’s why I like to send them. I think other people would love to receive some form of a letter just to say hey I was thinking about you and wanted to write you a letter. I’d hope that’d cheer them up or at least give them something to read if they want to.

Oh geez well I have plenty more on this subject I could say but it’s 3 in the morning and I’m beyond tired right now and think it’d be best for me to get some sleep instead of babbling on to my computer about my love for handwritten letters. Even though there is plenty more I could say I may touch on at a later date. But for now this is all you get.

Goodnight.
