sending emails to ur pals

last year for lent, me and two pals decided to send each other daily emails. we kept up with it for like 2 months and then got busy and it got sporadic but as of today i have come out of email retirement and we are So Back!!! there is absolutely no dopamine hit from social media that can compare to the excitement felt upon seeing a piping hot, fresh email from a loved friend at the top of your inbox. and writing your own emails? impeccable. like morning pages but on the other end is someone who loves you and who has their own lovely pages to share. it’s such a gorgeous way to find a little time for intentional reflection each day, and to deepen your bond with yourself and some precious people.
