Writing letters is a something which everyone must practise (in my point of view). It helps in putting the feelings into words. Although, text messages can still do the same. But, ever felt how it feels to receive a letter? It is a feeling which just can't be tamed.
I think many of us want to find that one moment that feels like a pivotal turning point in our lives. Either be it our career or dreams or stuff. Everyone gapes for a moment where we leave our past behind and get busy living. We stop making excuses and get ready to do what it takes to have the life we want. Sometimes after getting busy, we regret being thinking that way earlier, but the other times it may be a good choice.
While the quality time may not be in person, writing each letter takes time and reading the letter does as well. Both deserve appreciation and cheers. When we get to take time out of our day to read what someone we care about has written to us, it's a tiny sliver of time that we get to spend with them in our mind. And when it's a surprise letter for you on some occasions or festivals, the joy of receiving one gets double. The sender too hopes for the same. The slower nature of the postal system means there's a delay between the times spent on the letter, but perhaps that leads to more meaningful correspondence since the trivial things don't seem to matter as much after a few days.
Writing letters and sending them through the post is something which very few of us do. Your schedule may be busy, you may not get enough time for it. But at least, it is better than wasting time in useless stuff. No matter where my life takes me, I know I’ll always remember one vivid point in my life that changed everything. It happened one night while I was going through youtube I noticed something. And it was about a talk on "Why write?". I would definitely say that it was a kind of talk which everyone must listen to because the speaker really described very well about it which motivated me at the end.
Many might think- "Come on! it is 21st century now, who writes a letter?
After all, why send a letter which will arrive days later in the post when you can send a text in seconds?" But, just think, writing letters is a time-consuming process and receiving it too takes time and also reading it does as well. But the happiness of doing it can be felt by the one who does it.
People who think that kindles replace books, keyboards replace writing are the ones who had never tried sending a letter and that's really sad.
Writing letters has no harm. Why think before starting it? Take out a pen and paper and begin writing. It doesn't matter whether your handwriting is good or bad. No one is going to judge you for that. It should just be readable.
