Why should we embrace the art of letter writing?

Letter writing is such a great past time which sadly is disappearing with the rise of the digital age. So why bother? There are so many benefits that we had to share them with you so without further ado, here are several reasons why we should embrace the art of letter writing.

The Personal connection

Letter writing allows us to connect with others on a personal level. Be it a pen pal, a friend or even with yourself, it gives us the opportunity to share our thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a way that is more intimate than a text message or email.

It’s a Timeless Tradition

Letter writing has been a tradition for centuries and is an important part of our cultural heritage. By embracing this tradition, we can keep it alive for future generations. Imagine if technology and the internet all disappeared? You can’t be sentimental about a text message that no longer exists but with a letter- you can!

The Emotional expression

Writing a letter can be a cathartic experience. It allows us to express our emotions in a way that is not always possible in person. We can take the time to reflect on our thoughts and feelings and communicate them more effectively through writing. Letter writing can be a great practice to communicate more effectively with ourselves, a loved one or a friend. Sometimes a letter is better in situations like a heated argument! By walking away and writing how you feel, it gives you a moment to reflect and perhaps you won’t even send the letter at all. Equally it’s a good way to express yourself without saying something in the heat of the moment that you could regret. This is just one example but there are soooo many more we could list!

Memory preservation

Letters can serve as a tangible reminder of important moments and relationships in our lives. They can be kept and treasured for years to come, providing a connection to the past. They’re also important for preserving memories. Our founder Kat has a grandmother with Alzheimer’s and finds that writing to her helps her keep hold of memories for longer as well as providing a sense of familiarity and comfort.

The Unique touch

In a world where we are inundated with digital communication, a handwritten letter can stand out and be a special touch. It can be a unique and thoughtful way to show someone that we care. They don’t call snail mail happy mail for no reason after all!

Overall, embracing the art of letter writing can enhance our personal connections, preserve traditions, allow for emotional expression, preserve memories, and provide a unique touch in our communication.
