Writing Letters

I love writing letters. Not just because it puts a smile on the receiver's face but also because it's a very pleasant ritual to me. While writing one to someone, I usually go through some of our best memories together, what the person means to me, and what I like our relationship to be in the future. Obviously the letter usually turns out very honest, nostalgic, and almost always cheesy, but it is a good exercise for me to become more appreciative and loving, especially when I am feeling upset or disappointed by the person.

I've written more letters this summer than I have in the past ten years .. mostly because I want to keep in touch with the important people in my life in more meaningful, caring ways, and also because I've been nostalgic often looking back on college days, which puts me in a letter-writing mood. If you haven't gotten one, it should be on the way, heh.
