Paper is important.
It exists to be touched, written on, read, shared, folded up into a tiny square that hides in a pocket or a purse or under a pillow to be found when a pick-me-up is needed. It exists to be remembered.
It's not the actual paper that's important, but the connection. It's different than a phone call.
Than an email.
There is nothing happier than receiving a sweet letter in the mail. The anticipation! The idea that someone thought about you with enough time and fondness to do all the paper-finding, and thinking, and stamping and sealing and sending. You have to care to write a letter. And often the affliction of modern life is the distance we feel. Letters squish the distance into touching the same paper & reading the same words. Letters can be kept and re-read and folded into bundles and bound with ribbons. Love letters - kept and read by grandchildren. Little windows. Little sentiments. Little time capsules of a moment, ephemeral and permanent all at once.
So, of course, of course, you should write a letter and send it.
We believe you should send something worth keeping.
