An individual received a letter in January that they had written to themselves a year prior at a letter-writing cafe in Paris. The cafe's concept involved writing a letter, typically to oneself, which would then be sent a year later.
This experience prompted the author to begin writing letters to others, including their mother, sister, and friends. The author noted that this form of communication allowed for a deeper level of connection and reflection compared to digital messages or phone calls.
The practice of writing and sending letters reportedly led to a decreased urgency regarding constant digital communication, with the author muting some group chats and archiving others.
