Hey girl,
Hey boy,
When was the last time you wrote a letter?
Do you miss letter writing, like I do?

I really don’t mind how short or long it is.
What really matters is the words written down on that paper or piece of paper.
The smell of the paper that has been sent to me…
The feel of the trace marks of the ink or pencil on the paper….

The people older than me tell me that they had to wait 3 months to receive a reply to the letter they last sent out.
I burst out in laughter the first time I heard this.
Because we got all this technology for sending and receiving messages in milliseconds; from email to WhatsApp to video chats!

Oh wait,
Did you ever have your words drafted out on another piece of paper before making your final cut, like I did many times?
Do you remember those writing pads?

Yyoooo….
We spent a ton of money on those writing pads!
No week would go by at school without securing our bags of them.
We wrote that much…I am not sure if the people we wrote to, fully appreciated the struggles we went through!

I miss letter writing so much!
We have all this tech that got us so much closer.
But can we get back to writing, please?
I truly miss writing letters and receiving them. I still do daily journaling sometimes for self-reflection. I don’t know if my kids will write after finishing school.
❤️👏🏿
Great post!
❤️❤️
I miss letter writing to. I think this is why I like to journal. These days school are not even teaching kids how to write.
😭🙏🏽
I miss those days of writing letters. I remember back in the day when my kids had pen pals and they would write so many letters to their overseas friends.
😍😍😍😍
I completely understand the nostalgia for letter writing! It’s a lost art, but such a heartfelt way to connect. Do you have any memorable letter-writing experiences or favorite letters you’ve received or sent in the past? I’d love to hear about them!
😍😍 oh yes, I think I’ll be sharing about them soon.
I love letter writing and in fact, I still do it.
So, the last time I did was last weekend when I sent out a package to my bestfriend. It’s a bit short since we talk all the time but I still make sure to write a note/ short letter if I have the chance.
❤️🙏🏽
When I was younger and my dad was travelling a lot for work, I wrote letters up to 10 times a month to him to let him know everything that was happening around me, and I would only get 2, sometimes 4, replies. I was so excited each time they arrived. Those were the days that I will forever cherish.
😍😍👏🏿👏🏿
I absolutely miss writing letters and just the art of putting pen to paper. I used to write letters and postcards all the time! I still enjoy writing thank you notes.
😍🙏🏽
I missed it so much too. Nowadays it’s all typing, even my 5th grader doesn’t really write much, everything is on the computer. It’s a lost art.
😭😭🙏🏽
Not writing a letter on paper anymore. But write diary for that feel, instead of tech notes.
😍🙏🏽
I don’t miss letter writing at all. I much prefer email.
👍🙏🏽
Yes! I miss it too. I love looking at the handwriting styles of ink on paper. It’s so personal.
😍🙏🏽
I love writing letters and still do it when I send off a parcel or an order from my shop!
😍🙏🏽
Your post about missing letter writing is a sentiment that many can relate to in today’s digital age. The nostalgia for the personal touch of handwritten letters is beautifully expressed in your words. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and reminding us of the simple yet profound joy of traditional correspondence.
You are welcome, Simran!
Nice topics and it’s been some time that I write letter, I do like carrying a notebook and pen with me though, and maybe a postcard. But yes, I miss writing a letter, too!
😍🙏🏽
Yeah, letter writing is so much nostalgic to me. But have you ever found a little bit weird or different when you change from typing on the keyboard to holding a pen and writing?
😍😍 all the time!
The last time I wrote a letter was recently to my dad in heaven. I miss letter writing and would any day love a handnote over an email.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That takes me back to when I was a young girl. It used to be the only way of communicating with my husband in the army
❤️❤️❤️
This article was so nostalgic for me! I love receiving hand written notes, but I only receive them in the form of thank you cards now. I need to get back into writing letters.
❤️👏🏿
Ok, to be honest with you, been a long time for letter writing. Now more like letter typing hahah. But this is interesting post.
😍😍
