Why should we keep penpal as a thing?

Samayya Muhammad

So. You get home. Check your mail. The letter you’ve been waiting for arrived. You open the envelope, and read the letter. Grab a sheet of paper and envelope. Write back soon is written at the bottom of the paper. You fold it, put it in the envelope and add the stamp. You go to the post office to send the letter. You are happy and excited you wrote a letter, filled with joy you can’t wait to hear back.

 

Penpalling. Snail-mail. Letters in general, we should keep sending them. The joy and thrill of writing a letter to someone you have never met before is exciting and receiving is excited too. Whether you just write a letter or add some goodies inside making friends through letters is a fun experience that we should all have.
