I think we should develop the habit of writing letters. Why? Writing letters helps us practise building sentences, expressing ourselves in writing, spelling, and grammar. It is a way of clearing our minds, of finding out what we are thinking — or as a draft of thought, where we just have a flow of ideas. We can put different points of view on paper without necessarily being for or against anything, just as a way of having a conversation with ourselves that leads to a better understanding of something.
What? As simple ideas that generate new ideas. As a way of communicating with ourselves and finding out what we feel. Letters also serve as a record we can revisit — to see how we felt and what we thought at a particular moment.
Who? We can write letters to someone to communicate something meaningful. That gives the message a more thoughtful touch. We can write to ourselves. We can write to everyone. Write letters for birthdays, for Christmas, or simply because someone came to mind — and surprise them with: hello, I thought about you. I hope you are well. I hope to see you soon and give you a hug. Love you.
