i have always wanted to be a pen pal, writing hand witted letters and then mailing them off to a stranger overseas, telling them about my life and hearing about theirs.
there’s something so beautifully intimate in the act, waiting patiently to hear about someone else’s life that is so much different from yours due to their environment!
or even reading a book, annotating the book, and then sending it off for your pen pal to also read along with your annotations.

I want to regularly exchange hand-written letters with someone in a distant country and confide in them as we share our day-to-day struggles, passions, dreams etc. and learn about each others' cultures

I love hand-writing a letter. the delayed gratification of it, talking about anything and nothing, decorating it with cartoons and drawings and stickers. Sending little extras and photographs with tiny micro-playlists scrawled out on the back of it. It takes at least an hour to craft a good letter, one worth receiving and replying to, and it's intimate to think about someone nonstop for that long. I just love that form of communication.

Everyone should have a penpal, my penpal is one of my closest friend, even though we text everyday there’s something about exchanging letters that just feels so intimate.
