It would be nice to get something in the mail other than bills

When was the last time someone wrote you a letter?  It's been a long time since I have received one.  I'd pee my pants (in a good way*) if someone actually took out a pen and paper and wrote me a letter.  Not an e-mail, not a post-it note, and not a fucking text message.  A letter.  And not a typed letter either, though I suppose that would be a start.  I'm talking about a letter in that ol' lover's scrawl--handwritten, with scratch-outs and edits included. Raw.  Honest.  Real.  A letter where the handwriting might look different throughout, depending on the changing mood or speed of the author, or depending on which parts were written on which days--and at what times.  The words look a little less slanted on page 3 than page 1, perhaps, or maybe they're scrunched a little closer together in the fourth paragraph.   This is what I want to see.  If it sounds weird to you, then that means you are normal.  I, however, am not, which is why I go crazy over stuff like letters.

 Letter-writing is becoming obsolete, and that is very unfortunate for people like me who cherish this now-dying form of communication.    

I'm a lover of words no matter their source: newspapers, billboards, books, even those fucking text messages.  But letters are the best, and getting them in the mail is like opening a Christmas present.



*Ok, so you can never pee your pants in a good way, but you know what I mean.
