i recently started postcrossing.
postcrossing is seemingly a very establish, very trusted international post-card-penpal service that basically only grandmas know about.
i have sent five cards out so far, i'm waiting to receive my first. its just fun!! its a fun thing to do on a night i get to myself, it's a joy to look forward to — both getting and sending. (usually when grandmas like something i will too)

I have very little to say & fewer people to say it to but sending postcards to strangers all over the world with little tidbits about my day & the weather & the song I'm listening to just makes me so happy. It amazes me that some people on there have sent/received over 20,000 postcards. I feel like it brings a feeling of more intention into my daily life.

probably my best discovery of this year
started this on Valentine's Day, because I was feeling alone
I just write to strangers, and others strangers write to me, and we share everyday things and more unusual happenings
I've receive postcards from Portugal, USA, Europe ...
I've send cards to Japan, Singapore, Canada ... :)
most days I have surprise mail
linking you the website (which is safe in my experience) if you want to know more
or just ask me, I will gladly answer

related to penpaling, I found this website during the pandemic and have been penpals with someone for 4 years 🥹!
Postcrossing connects you to random people across the world who also enjoy receiving and sending mail/postcards. They give you a random someone’s address and you send a postcard to them and you’ll receive one back from someone else random.
I’ve received cards from people in Uzbekistan, Japan, Finland, etc. and it’s such a joy to get a little slice of life on a card and send a little of yours in return. And they’re great to collect! I have a wall’s worth of cards now

I.e. someone who will “fix” me or “save” me not in a sexual nor clinical sense but more so just a sage person who will help me achieve my full potential. Kind of like my sponsor but she’s a tad younger than what I’m envisioning here. Think Good Will Hunting
