I want an old fashioned pen pal.

Where you had to write to each other with pen and paper one a month. Then wait for a month for a response. Snail mail only, no SMS, WhatsApp or eMail.

I wish for this too. I had a penpal from Australia on EP. It was fun. We'd send each other little weird things too. It was exciting and I really miss it. I'm tired of how instant and depersonalized everything is.

@MarbleMarvel And how instant it is with all these messenger apps

@TheDeathOfOzymandiaz then people start expecting replies to be instant. They get angry if you don't reply fast enough then it becomes stressful. Ugh. No thanks.
