Maybe not the usually topic for this community, but there is paper and pen involved, so close enough?

Basically I decided on a whim to send a handwritten letter to a friend of mine. I don’t think I ever did that before. I didn’t even really know what to say, so it’s just a few lines long. But nevertheless, I put in an envelope, got stamps and now it’s on its way.

Well, what can I say. Now, I am sitting here like a little kid before Christmas waiting for the letter to arrive!
We basically text everyday and I did not tell her, so it will be a surprise. I am really exited for her reaction.
I already am thinking about sending a postcard to another friend. Just because. It just seems like such an easy way to give out a little happiness to someone? And I really enjoyed sitting down and taking time to craft the letter. Even if I struggled to come up with things to say, it feels so different to sending text messages or e-mails that arrive instantly.

Anyway, this also got me curious. Do some of you guys still send out handwritten letters? Or is it something you consider a thing of the past?
