When is the last time you sat down and wrote a letter by hand?

In this day and age, writing is a rare thing to do. People usually communicate electronically now that everyone has an email address and mobile phone. It is just so easy to click ‘send’ button to send an email, so quick to make a call from your phone directory. As fast food is getting more dominating in people’s dietary nowadays, is there any chance for those genuine, authentic and delicate cuisine which is also time consuming to survive?   

If you never write a real letter or it has been a while you have not, you should try it. There is something nice about putting ink to paper. You can do it outside or in an easy chair without the glow of computer. With the hectic status of busy life, I was definitely going down the path of not tending to write letters for a number of years. Then about a while ago, I just come across the idea again that there is no other better way to communicate than writing a letter when people are physically or mentally remotely apart.

It is also much more personal to open an envelope and unfold a letter. The familiar writing on paper can really talk and pour out what one thinks with full sincerity. It just feels different. I think it is a classical thing. You can either enjoy the romantic idea of it or genuineness of not-easy-said written words if you could be patient enough to wait for the interchange of the letter. It is kind of exciting. It just means a lot more than an email. It is also a significant gesture.

When is the last time you wrote a letter? Can you think of anyone who would like to receive one?
