I don’t think anything quite compares to the feeling of receiving something handwritten. Whether its just a postcard saying hello or a heartfelt letter, in the throw away society we live in today getting a message in a physical format gives you reason to save and treasure it. I think its sad that when the next generation gets old it won’t have a collection of notes, letters and postcards to look back on, to re read and remember the past, its such a lovely thing in the same way as looking through an old photo album and that too will soon become a thing of the past.
I have always been very nostalgic and would much prefer to make something by hand than create it digitally. Now I’m not completely knocking the old pc because where would I be without it but I just think that its so unpersonal and sometimes its nice to hold and feel something physical, something one off personal.
I don’t know where this train of thought came from or is going but I just want to always make people think about sending something handwritten in the post because its a very rare and wonderful thing to receive.
