The one change that worked: I sent myself a letter
I’ve started writing to my sister, my mum, my friends … Not everyone writes back, but when we connect it’s on a deeper level than any group chat
TL;DR
- A letter written to herself a year prior, received unexpectedly, served as a catalyst for rediscovering the value of letter writing.
- The author began a ritual of writing letters to her mother, sister, friends, and cousins, finding it a cathartic and reflective practice.
- Letter writing offered a more profound connection than digital communication, emphasizing the tactile experience and deliberate nature of the written word.
- This newfound routine has led to a slower pace in communication, with the author now choosing words more carefully and valuing in-person interactions.
- The author continues this practice, recently sending another letter to herself, anticipating the reflection it will bring.
