When I was younger it was a project through our elementary school to have a pen pal. We would buy postcards and stamps to get ready to make new friends. I am not sure where the addresses came from but we were paired up with another child our age from across the sea.
I always chose postcards that had my favorite things on them to share with whoever it was that got the treasured postcard from me (lol).
I did receive one or two postcards in a different language with no way to interpret what they said or what the words meant. But the feeling of getting a postcard from a potential friend was so exciting and rewarding.
Did you have a pen pal? Or someone who sent you personal messages via postcards? Why have we gotten out of the habit of trying to make friends in different places? I know you will say we do that today with social media, but there is a difference.
No one cared what you looked like when they got the postcard, only that a friend sent them a message. In this is a big difference. Maybe that is why we don’t like each other so much now, we feel like it’s a competition to make meaningful connections.
What do you think? Message me back..friend…
