People use the US Mail Service everyday. Bills, magazines, and newspapers are commonly sent throughout the country every single day. Sadly, mailing letters has become a thing of the past. Before email and text messages, mailing letters was the central way of communication. Friends, family, and couples would mail out their feelings daily.
In my opinion, mailing a letter is one of the sweetest things someone can do. Anyone can write an email or send a text; but it takes a truely caring person to take the time to write a letter. When you write, you are completely exposed. Your feelings are naked for everyone to see. When you write, all your emotions, feelings, and thoughts are translated on a simple piece of paper. Letters are beautiful. They are a way to connect with someone any distance away. Now you may be thinking, "an email can do that!" But it's not the same! An email can hide emotions. An email doesn't seem to have a "life of it's own". When you write a letter, you are really telling someone that you care. Plus, there is nothing better than recieving a letter from someone! Everyone knows that! You just get this warm feeling that means, someone, somewhere is thinking about you. An email or a text doesn't seem to portray the same types of feelings.
My advice to everyone today would be, to write someone a message! Whether it be a family member, a friend, or a boyfriend or girlfriend; write someone a little note and stick it in the mail! Then you'll really understand the power and true meaning of a letter! Plus, it most definately will brighten your day... and someone else's!
In today's news: Today is our last full day of school for the week and I'm looking forward to my loooong weekend! I really need a little vacation from the constant stress of school. Also, tomorrow, the Winter Olympics premiere and I'm really excited! I love to watch the talented athletes perform. I believe that if I could redo one thing about my life, I would go back and start training for a cool sport really really really young! Then I might have been an Olympic athlete! Anyway, my favorite sport to watch is ice skating. The moves are just so pretty and graceful! Unfortunatly, I wasn't gifted with a wonderful sense of balance. Even though I really wish I was.
Okay well, I'm off to finish homework and maybe plan a little "pre-Olympic get-together"!
Go Team USA!
xoxo
