I love it all! I've always been into letter writing/decorating ever since I was a little girl. Then I grew up and still loved it. I even signed several years ago to be a volunteer letter writer to people in need of support and do that too when I can.
Letter writing/decorating is fun and enjoyable to me. It's such a great feeling to send and receive "snail mail" knowing you're thought of. The beautiful, heartfelt letter literally feels just like a hug but in an ✉️! 🩵
What kind of volunteer letters??? You don’t need to give us the organization name, of course, just the genre <3 I use to write letters to soldiers and older people, including those who were housebound or in older folks’/rehabilitation homes <3
I loved letter writing and penpalling. It was a different form of expression for me, more open, less guarded, somehow writing was a fun creative outlet, probably things I might not necessarily vocalise.
I loved buying those easy flowing inky pens, some of my letters looked like rainbows, I might even doodle pictures at the side.
But sometimes it petered out or it just felt one sided. You need someone to match your energy levels. It doesn't have to be straight away replies but it needs the same effort put in.
It just seemed like either I got a very basic response or something pages and pages long that was draining.
I love to journal with different colour fountain pens. Something that glides smoothly brings joy when I write 😁
@corydoras
Yes. I love that experience. It's oddly satisfying.
