I recieved my #Write_On starter kit in the mail last week. I'm terrible I completely forgot about April being National Letter Writing Month, and that I was going to participate in the 30 letters in 30 days campaign. D:
Until I got this in the mail, halfway through the month. Hahaha.
The cards are super cute, as always. though that pink....who picked that? Why? it's so bright, and ugh.
But then again, I am extremely biased against pink colors. So there's that.
I spent a good part of a day writing letters and decorating envelopes last week. It was fun. I normally only have one or two people I write letters to a month, so it was a nice change of pace to have so many.
I limited myself to small cards, and short messages. Some people feel obligated to write back when you write them, and I don't want that. I also don't want to overwhelm people with my entire life story in an envelope. Though one of my friends and I write pages to each other about our lives and thoughts. It's really nice.
Unfortunately I only have 11 letters written. I only have 12 people's addresses total. And some of them it was almost strange to write to because they're people I haven't spoken to in a long time, or feel as if I don't know well. But I think they would still appreciate a small letter saying Hi.
I hope.
One of the letters was to an old coworker, before she was a coworker she was almost a mentor. My friends and I would go to the library one night a week for a teen reading program. She ran the program, and was amazing. We didn't always read a book a month like we were supposed to, but we always came to the program regardless. And we had other books we loved.
I think that was her purpose of the program, to encourage teens to read, to discuss, to have a safe hangout place for them.
So I wrote her a letter telling her she is a beautiful person, because she really is.
But now I need to figure out what I'm going to do about the rest of the letters. :/
