I Love Handwritten Letters

I have always loved browsing through boxes of old photographs, postcards, cards and letters, which can be found in the “cheap” sections of provincial auction houses, beside the crockery, unopened soaps and tacky souvenirs...

Dear One with the Tender Soul:

I write this to you, as I know you may be reading it. I felt a need to memorialize an indelible expression of concern/friendship and love, and with this in mind, write this to you.

You have a heart of...

I remember years ago when my older children were just babies, I use to write regularly to friends, keeping in contact and catching up with their lives.

They were my contact with the outside world; it was a way of staying connected...

I'm upset that long hand letters are such a dying thing now. We're in an age where everyone wants what they want RIGHT NOW. Everyone is always on the move and never has time to just sit and relax..
Wheres the pulse pounding excitement...

It will be much appreciated if I receive them.. I will be greatly touched. :)

January 21st, 2012 was the first time I received a letter in the mail from my sweetheart. It looked different from the other envelopes. It had been forever since I saw handwriting on the front of an envelope. There was a large red stamp...

I like writing hand written letters more than typing emails. The words feel more personal and heartfelt. I like the thought of the person I'm writing to feeling the paper I touched and just being in the same aura of the emotions I felt...

To take the time to sit down and write a letter is not something I have done lately.

To wait in anticipation of receiving a letter from someone, do any of us have the patience anymore? Wondering when the mail man will arrive. Tearing...

The heft of good writing paper, the braille-like feel of writing indentations on the paper's underside and even the occasional scent of perfume or cologne.
They’re so rare nowadays. But I think they’re so much more meaningful than a...

Have you ever wanted to write a letter hoping it would reach the right person at the right time? If I were to do that, it would read something like this:

Dear Wonderful One:

I cannot tell you how much it means to me that you have...

I moved away from my friend about 4 months ago due to both of my parents being in the military. While I was there I was known for my cursive and when I moved here 3 weeks later my friend wrote me a letter all in beautiful calligraphy. I...

You can call me corny, boring or conservative, but I love handwritten letters! The same "old" fashion, I have letters from friends from high school, many who I miss so much. I have received letters from 'secret admirers', which until...

like being independent
Not so much of an investment
No one to tell me what to do
I like being by myself
Don’t gotta entertain anybody else
No one to answer to
But sometimes, I just want somebody to hold
Someone to give me their jacket...

When I was 11 my friend heard me complain because I didn't get a valentine that day and lots of other people did anyway less than 15 minutes later I went to my class tray and for a little folded piece of paper with happy valentines day...

Oh the sweet words written delicately on paper, as if spoken softly into my ear,
you write.
So much passion, so much love, were it Not for your letter,
Id be lonely tonight.
The fuel for my soul,
Your words speak to my heart,
So...

I enjoy the speed and instant gratification of electronic communications. Although I don't particularly like talking on the phone or Skype, I do love email and the private messaging component of our dear EP.
However, there's something...

Maybe I'm an old fossil, but I still enjoy writing letters using paper and ink. And I enjoy getting "real" mail, in m y mailbox-- something other than just bills and junk. Don't get me wrong, I do love the Internet and the convenience...
