Sitting on my chair, singing aloud to Sandi Thom Album. Pondering why in a time where communication is literally at one’s very fingertips, why is it that love and care, passion even, are communicated best through handwritten words on paper?
Missing the most primal action expressed by people. A typed letter or a screen of words appearing could not provide the entire picture of emotions. Each letter in perfect form could not convey the emotional warmth that comes from the imperfect handwriting, where a difference in style could portray uplifting feeling, or the deepest despair.
There is something about a handwritten letter. When reading one I cannot help but think that someone sat with a blank piece in front of them, pen in hand and thought about what they wanna say to you. And actually took time to physically write it out. How can that not make someone feel special? I love letters, it is just like the sound of our voices, and the handwriting distinctly creates us.
I'm sad that I don't give that kind of time and attention to people I love and care the most.
Ironically I understand everyone loves finding a letter from a friend or a loved one in amidst of a stack of bills.

Opening the chest, flipping through the journal for two souls to say the unspoken.
Affectionate, infatuated and passionate emotional reaction given through words adds on the sweetest ease of mind, despite all our desires for something better. Magical words that conjugated us in one tiny place, more irresistible than any cosy apartment. And though the expression of the words is to restore old memories, it erases unpleasant ones like waking up; turning to one side, feeling the emptiness sets in.
