Coreyartus Imagery<p>I just want to put out there that there are real strong virtues to writing letters and sending greeting cards that aren’t necessary “present” in emails.</p><p>• They get you off line. </p><p>• They help you craft thoughts carefully and purposefully in ways email can’t because you have to manually write it without “deleting” it.</p><p>• They’re fun to receive.</p><p>• They physically exist and will continue to do so if collected and cared for even after you’re dead.</p><p>• They can be pretty if that’s your intent.</p><p>• They’re more personal and meaningful than email because you took the time to engage in the process of penmanship on paper instead of typing it out.</p><p>I highly suggest trying the art of correspondence someday. Because it can be just that if you let it. Try unplugging and decompressing with a nice pot of tea and your favorite pen & stationery. Try contemplating a rough outline of what you want to say or include. Then simplify.</p><p>Maybe do some fun doodling on the paper. Make it an extension of yourself that you’re sharing.</p><p>Enjoy it.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/letters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>letters</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/correspondence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>correspondence</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/GreetingCards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreetingCards</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/postal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>postal</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/mail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mail</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/postage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>postage</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/LetterWriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LetterWriting</span></a></p>
