I will always choose a letter. I love writing them, I love receiving them. The fact that someone took the time, sat down, and put pen on paper, says so much, is so personal. Email and messages have a definite place. But when it comes to personal touch, I'd always choose the written word. It gives so much away for the writer and reader. A letter-that is showing you see the person you are writing to. If Covid said anything, it was that nothing is self-understood. Anyone can get sick and die. We can not take things for granted. I remember chatting with a fellow writer friend saying we were in panic what if we never get to write all that is tugging on our sleeves? We never get to write that letter to that special someone or that story we were thinking about. When you write an honest letter with best regards to someone, you send a part of you in it. By doing the work, taking the time, and making the marks on the page that are meaningful, you are sending the message 'You matter, I see you, and I make the effort for you.' I don't know about the internet meaning the end of physical cards and letters, but for me, it simply won't do, as I adore writing. The trouble is, and let me tell you it is a big one, my friends stopped answering! That is why I will write a book to reach all of them :) I feel it in my fingers and toes. You need something to witness your experiences that does not have to be a camera. The best memories are often linked to the senses and simply no picture. But how to capture them? Well, postcard or letter. Less is more unless it comes to words. Then the amount does not matter. What counts is quality. To simply paraphrase Nike's famous quote: "Just write it!"
