A letter to a friend

And how you can get one too

Pen Pals

I asked you a simple question. Will you be my pen pal? One of you were brave enough to respond. After miles and miles of travel in the USPS, his letter finally arrived in his mailbox and I got the green light to post a copy of it here.

Thank you,

I love letters. The craft of getting out “the good paper.” Hand drawing lines to make sure the letters don’t float up and up and up.

So, here is my letter. And if you are reading this, I’d love to send you one too.

My Grand Idea

In the absence of love I stopped writing letters. But we need not be lovers to letter. So let us letter.

For anyone reading this, my ask is simple.

💡 Reply, comment, DM me something. Anything. It could be a question you’ve been pondering. A situation you need perspective on. A funny joke. If you can’t think of anything, I’ll make it easy on you: send me three questions you want me to answer.

In return, I will write you a letter. A handwritten response. For those of you brave or willing enough, you can private DM me your address and you’ll get the letter in the mail before I share a response here. Make it anonymous, direct, I do not care.

Even if you are a stranger, please write to me. For what better way to get acquainted?

Your friend,
