My best friend had left me for another city and there were no phones in my country then. We usually write to ourselves. But we sent the letters through anyone we knew that was going in either of our directions. The delight I had in reading her letters was next to none. We were just children then, so we used pencils to write long and heartwarming tales of everything that had been going on before after the previous letter. When the phones came, everything changed. I guess it was because we could reach each other at any time so we didn't feel as excited. I still miss those letter writing days.
Hi Unomi
I remember those days so well. I wrote a lot of letters with funky handwriting to class mates, penpals in my country and beyond, it was good fun and always even better to receive one back. Nobody really does it anymore, but I'd love to bring this back to life, taking the time and effort to write a letter by hand is a true expression of love and care.
Thanks for reminiscing with me on the days gone by. Maybe you should look your friend up and send her a letter as a keepsake.
I'm currently pretty close to her by location but we will be far apart soon. I will leave her a letter before leaving. Thank you for the lovely idea.
Awww that's awesome. I'm glad you guys weren't too far, at least you can rekindle this old method of keeping in touch. Made my day to read this.
Awnnnnnn!
I'm so sorry for my late reply. It's so sweet to think that I made someone's day. Thank you so much.
