As a lover of a good British period drama, I know that a handwritten letter can move mountains and the lack of one can cause the iciest, desolate wasteland. Letters can say everything and nothing at all depending on the intent. And you may be thinking, “Dom, there’s a reason why we don’t write letters anymore. We can text and call.” While I believe modern technology is amazing, I do think that letters retain a certain level of emotion and thoughtfulness that can get lost in a text message or even phone conversations.
