Mail makes me smile

A letter, card, postcard, and package I recently received. :)

Letters I sent recently.

I’m so bad at updating this blog! I’ll go take some pictures/write a post or two now. :)

So, basically, I’m having a really crappy day. I got a letter and a postcard in the post just now, and while they haven’t solved anything or made me feel 100% better, they sure as hell put a smile on my face while I was reading them. Just the fact that someone took the time to write their thoughts and feelings and day to me, and the fact that they think I’m worth that, that’s pretty cool. One of the many things I love about correspondence.

After barely any post for a couple of weeks, today I got three postcards and my book. Random, but it definitely made me smile. 

Listening to Redemption by Frank Turner while writing a letter, and I just have the biggest urge to somehow climb on the roof to be in the moonlight. 

I haven’t been on this blog much because I keep forgetting to take pictures and write things, and I won’t have time over the next few days. So I wanted to try something. I will send anyone (no creeps please, and if you’re under 18 please have parental permission) a postcard. It could be of a place, it could be completely random. I don’t want anything in return. I don’t plan on keeping your address, or stalking you, or doing anything weird like that. I have penpals and I worry about people doing those things. No one might ask for one, lots of people might, who knows. I just think it’s a nice idea. So if you see this and want one, go to my ask box! I’m off for a few days now, and I’ll see what has happened when I get back. Bye! :)

Sometimes I get sad about the people who stopped writing to me, but then I remember that somewhere out there people have my letters, little parts of me and my life. I like to think they’re just getting on living their life and being happy. It doesn’t matter that they stopped writing or that we only sent a few letters, I would always want people to be happy.

I’ve just discovered some letters, parcels, and postcards on my shelf that I was sure I’d sent out a fortnight ago. I am so freaking annoyed at myself right now. And to make matters worse, had I found them a couple of hours ago I could’ve sent them out today, but now I have to wait until Monday. So, basically, I apologise to anyone who’s been waiting for something from me. This must be punishment for my terrible organisation.

And I’ll be sending these and a couple more out today, too.

I’m going to test out sending this beer mat to a friend in the post.

I got some great letters/postcard this week. :)

SO. Here’s a question. Last week I sent a friend a playing card in the post, and now I’m wondering what other things you can send. Would a beer mat be possible? Every time I see something like this that could be possible to post I’m going to give it a go! I wonder if playing cards and beer mats would survive the international trip…
