i haven’t done this yet, but my dear friend meredith has been testing it out. it’s working for her. i’m always going on and on about how badly i want a pen pal, so i’ll approach someone with this soon and report back
Had a friend move away and write me a letter. wanted to repay the favor but they never gave me a return address so I sent an email. Now we’re digi-pen-pals. Feels great typing paragraphs on an email rather than a text that’ll make it look like an essay. Emailing all my other friends now just for fun. “Oh did you get my email? Yeah i got a show this weekend, all the deets are in the email. Check ur inbox.” Come on.
i’ve done this platonically and romantically recently. and both seem to be working out. i love talking on the phone. we should all talk on the phone more often
if you love a really famous musician or a major studio movie, you can probably find some bizarre promotional item on the internet. they’re often too rare to purchase. but i DID just order a set of madonna russian nesting dolls from the music era, so it can be done
