Today, having received 100 postcards, I can say that every card brings a surge of emotion, much like the joy of a family member coming to visit.
Why the Pen Still Matters in a Digital World
In a world of rapid development and media saturation, we often lose sight of ourselves. Writing postcards has become my way of reclaiming that lost time.
It has allowed me to:
Connect Authentically: I have met new people and grown communication so significantly that receiving cards on birthdays and special occasions feels incredibly special.
Travel Through Others: I have "visited" places I always dreamed of through the stamps and ink of others, experiencing a beautiful mix of emotions.
Find Mental Stillness: Sitting down to write brings a sense of mental peace and relaxation to my heart.

Through this journey, I have realized that the "art of living for others" is more important than ever.
Here is why I continue to choose the pen over the screen:
Clarity over Haste: It provides a clarity of life where you never feel rushed to make decisions.
Unity in Diversity: You become part of a united friendship that blossoms across borders.
A Distinguished Choice: Taking the time to hold a pen sets you apart in a fast-paced world.
Peace of Mind: Each session of writing acts as a meditative escape for the soul.
Complete Conversations: Unlike phone calls where things are often missed, nothing is lost when put on paper.
Heartfelt Reminders: Every word written becomes a permanent treasure held in the heart and soul.
Positive Routine: This practice is so fulfilling that missing the routine makes me realize how much I truly value it.
I conclude Every postcard has taught me the truth in the saying: "Everybody you ever meet knows something you don't".
Meeting people through their words has made me more valuable as a person and proved that a pen can change us into something more beautiful than ever.
Though the modern world may feel overwhelming, I am committed to this journey—championing a world made beautiful through words, action, and soul.

ReplyDeleteThe Man who introduced me to Postcrossing. 🌟
This article is warm, sincere, and quietly persuasive, but it leans more toward emotional reflection than critical depth. The celebration of slow living through postcards is refreshing in a hyper-digital age, yet the piece idealizes slowness without fully addressing its limits in modern life. While the personal growth described feels genuine, the argument would be stronger if it acknowledged that not everyone can afford time-intensive practices. Still, its core message stands: intentional communication can restore clarity, presence, and human connection in a world addicted to speed.❤️
