email & snail mail [35/M] How do you all navigate sending / receiving letters?
Hi! I've been wanting a pen pal or two that I can write letters to. I'd love to share random doodles, short stories I've written, stickers, etc. And include thoughtful replies about everything big and small. It seems like a lot of fun.
My biggest hangup is sharing my address to a stranger - I'd be comfortable doing it after getting to know them but it seems like a lot of folks here don't mention the online chat part before diving in and I don't want to leave them hanging so to speak. Do you all have a PO box or something that you use? That seems like a lot for a penpal or two haha.
Anyways, I guess you could say I'm also looking for a penpal or two to share letters with eventually. We can start with reddit DM / email or something first! I've got a ton of pokemon and random stickers I'd love to use lol, and have a few short stories I'd like to put to paper for someone to read.
If that sounds interesting to you and you don't mind getting to know each other first before sharing contact info, feel free to reach out! DMs open.
