9. Correspondence By Mail
Corresponding by mail used to be the only way you could communicate with each other! Your great grandparents probably used to the mail frequently to send letters, personal messages, and even documents. Back in the day you couldn’t just send something via-email and expect a quick response—you actually had to physically write it out on paper, fold it up, get a stamp on the addressed envelope and hope for the best. The worst part had to be the waiting—waiting weeks and checking the mail everyday waiting for a response. It’s a good thing we have cell phones and the Internet to make communicating easier and faster, but there is still something to be said for sending a letter. If you want to bring back the art of corresponding by mail try getting a pen pal; you can meet someone new and you might even find that writing is a way to relieve stress.
