I wrote a letter today. I ripped it into pieces. That’s all.

“To send a letter is a good way to go somewhere without moving anything but your heart.”

—Phyllis Theroux 

Writing a letter

  • me: No way! We get to write letters to Gerard?! YAY! I know what I'm going to say!
  • me: but wait....what if he really reads this?!
  • Me: hes going to think I'm a weirdo!!
  • me: no...hes cool...all i have to do is just write!
  • me: *later...fifty crumpled papers around me*...i have no idea what to fucking write,

mailing letters!

if you are in the US, and would like me to mail you a letter, please message me your address.(:

i pinky promise to not give out your information or break in your house to watch you sleep!

xoxo.

does anyone who is not creepy/a stalker want to be my pen pal because that would just make my day/week/month/life 

I wish people still sent letters.

I can’t help but wonder how much is being lost via email. It’s incredibly convenient, don’t get me wrong, but some of the most insightful and beautiful things can be found in letters. Just look at John Keats and Fanny Brawne. Beethoven and his “Immortal Beloved.” Woodrow Wilson and his wife! Or all the soldiers during wartime who poured out their hearts on paper and revealed the true gritty nature of war. Or Freud and Jung, who bounced ideas back and forth via written correspondence that would shape early psychology. Even parts of the Bible are epistles! Letters have shaped such an enormous part of history. Somehow, I doubt that emails will do the same.
