RE: AM Scribbles Day 4 – Note for a Friend
I've started writing letters to keep in touch with a number of my distant cousins. I find that the time it takes for a letter to be written and delivered, is the ideal amount of time that should pass between two people who want to stay in touch.
When you text every day, or call every week eventually you're just talking for the sake of talking.
When you write a letter, enough time passes that you have a lot to say to someone.
So i think this hand drawn correspondence you're having is great :)
Yes, in my experience also, "talking for the sake of talking" becomes boring and pointless.
Cousins and other distant relatives seem to be good candidates for letters because there is a meaningful connection but there is the possibility for a lot of gaps to be filled in too. When enough gaps are filled on both sides of the story, we see one bigger picture and gain greater understanding.
Thanks for reading and sharing.
