So today, I was thinking about how we communicate with our friends. There arephone calls,
email,
and so many other communication mediums. One that is not as popular to use, but really awesome when you receive is good old fashioned snail mail. Think about how much more meaningful a real paper letter is compared to an image on a computer screen. While the content can be the same, the effort to sit down are write the letter can mean so much more.
While this is indeed a very random thought, it has inspired me to want to write more letters. I want people to know that I'm taking time to think about them enough that I would take more time and effort into keeping in touch with them. Please don't see this as a way for me to boost myself up and claim to be a better friend or something like that. I only want to be real. I want to truly show that they have certain place in my life and that I want them to feel cared about.
Porque hoy que nececitamos. Haha, that was supposed to say, Because that is what we need.
Everyone wants to feel loved and to love other people. We want to konw that people care about us and are actually wondering how others are doing. I hope this has inspired you to write more letters, or at least to stay in better touch with your friends, if not then that's fine too, maybe you didn't need inspiration. For me it was like a revelation.

Letters weren't important to me until two things changed in my life- (1) Going to camp for 3 months-as you know getting mail at camp can turn a day around-and it is all about knowing someone cares, and (2) a death in the family- letters, cards etc., got old I won't lie, but having them to read 6 months later, a year later...is so amazing. It's like a small history of my dad in a shoebox written by people who are expressing love, agony, and hope. Yeah, so letters are powerful.
