SNAIL MAIL

While browsing past blog entries of my friend, I got inspired to blog about my love of snail mail. Yes, you read it right I love snail mail. You might find it old-fashioned but I don't care. I just love receiving that kind of mail. I'm always excited to hear someone shout" sulat" The happiness I feel when the mailman hands over the letter is unexplainable.

The first thing I do when I'm ready to open the letter is to find a quiet place where I can sit comfortably. When I finally open it, my eyes light up when I see the handwriting and get emotional when reading it. I become so succumbed to whatever the sender is discoursing to me. That's how affected I am when I receive mail.

Snail mail is not just mail. It's a piece of paper where a person I know or love communicates with me through the use of words. Words that convey the emotion that we personally share.

Back to the present time, I hardly receive snail mail or should I say I can't remember the last time I receive one. The only snail mail I receive these days are bills which I had to respond to immediately or else I regret it later. :)
