I’ve always loved writing letters. Sometimes big dramatic ones, at times small everyday things. I’ve love how it feelto sit down and actually say something properly, instead of just thinking it or typing it quickly. This is a small space built around that. We meet, pick someone we have in mind, and write them a letter. It could be anything — a thank you, something you’ve been meaning to say, or even something simple you didn’t realize you wanted to put into words. You don’t have to share or send it. It doesn’t even have to be “good.” Honestly, it’s just a bit of time to sit, write, and see what comes up. If you like quiet spaces, or been wanting to try something little different, you might enjoy this space.
