Do you have penpals?

Naah.. i dont have any penpals but would love to have one in the near future. i have heard about penpals quite often and that people do write to each other even if they belonged to two different countries.

I had penpals before when I was in my younger age coming from different countries. But they were all gone when I moved in other place. Yeah there is really a big difference when you can received a hand written letters.I love writings and receiving letters as well there is really an excitement on it compared when you received only from emails or text.

I had a lot of snail mail penpals when I was younger. In the beginning I only had penpals from my own country, but when I became a teenager I started writing to people from other countries. I had many penpals from Europe and I had penpals from Asia, Africa, South America and Central America. We didn't write each other that often, maybe once a month or less than that, but it was always a great feeling to find a letter from a friend in the mailbox I sent them photos, postcards and small souvenirs from my country and I also received parcels from them. I still keep some of those letters that I received in the past. Today I don't write snail mail letter anymore, I have mailfriends, but don't I send and receive handwritten letters. I sometimes it miss it and I have thought about finding a snail mail penpal again.

I had for years, wrote long letters, but seldom got any (long) letter back. Now I nearly daily email with some people I met, but also a part of them I see weekly or so. Via mylot I did respond on someone who wanted penpals as well. Well after she contacted me she wrote me only twice and said she is busy. That is not what I call a penpal also I don't want to waste my time with people like that. I do wonder why she asked for a penpal if she is that busy.

I have a penpal myself. Funnily enough one of her letters came through the post today. I love receiving letters because it gives me the feeling that someone actually wants to talk to me. I dont mind the electronic ways of receiving messages but i dont get the same feeling as a letter. Blessed you be
