this means that if you have any kind of paper on you, you can send a letter any time, anywhere. Whenever you have a few minutes, rip a sheet from your journal, jot a quick note to a friend, makeshift an envelope (origami that shit), slap a stamp on and BANG you’ve made someone’s day. Your own too, probably. Plus you’ll always be the person who had a stamp when someone roguely needs one
i keep a few pre-stamped pre-addressed envelopes around for farther away friends and whenever inspiration strikes I send them whatever. Doesn’t have to be a long letter at all! Take the pressure off of it. It could be a sticker I like but would rather they have, or a clip from a magazine or just a note that says “hi I love you and call me!”. It costs less than a dollar and can mean a years worth of sustained knowledge that you’re in each others orbits
I think the biggest thing my therapist helped me realize is that moments that are tough or seasons of your life that seem impossible will not last forever. It is not about sitting in the struggle but understanding how to effectively work through it.
accept the love that is presented to you and do not run away from it, each opportunity to hang is a bid for connection, take them in stride and with open arms
