In my closet I have two giant shoe boxes full of handwritten notes. They were given to me by members of the opposite sex while I attended High School and College. There's nothing more exciting then receiving a beautifully handwritten note from a girl that you've been dreaming about getting to know.
I feel bad for kids nowadays. They don't get to experience the same level of personal intimacy that we, the babyboomers and gen-xrs did. A text message is meaningless. It has no heart.
The handwritten note though, with flowers and hearts all over it, those had so much power. Personality. Beauty.
They were real love letters, and one day love letters will be a thing of the past.
It's sad when you think about it.
