I realized lately that I've been missing something. I've missed writing. The simple gush of words that tumble out faster than your hands can form. There is something romantic about sending someone your thoughts in this simple form. You don't know what they think as they read the letters and emails and blogs you write. But it's somehow an intimate interaction [I do not refer to the thousands of business and spam emails you get - this is more of a social communication where you share with the receiver].
More than speaking to someone, writing to me requires that extra bit of effort and brains to transmit your thoughts to another. And what is pretty neat is that when you get a card, you know that they were thinking of you the entire time they spent writing.
So despite the whole rush to be more efficient, higher speed and output with a decreased input, I simply love that antique interaction of writing to each other (though the speed of email is a convenience I do enjoy).
So maybe sometime, you'll consider sitting down and take sometime to write a long winded message to someone, and who knows, they might even write back ^_^.
P.S.: Cheers to my lovely Codeduck who has decided to share her experiences with the written word, or should I say code ^_^
Do you wanna buy a duck?
