How long has it been since you picked up a pen to put words on paper? In today’s world of technology advancement where communication has revolutionized to emails and text messages, personal handwritten notes are growing rarer by the day. Yet, they are more important than ever. They stay impactful and unique in many ways.
In fact, handwritten notes and letters have its benefits – more than you could imagine.
#01 It is a memorable gift that can greatly impact people
A thoughtful letter can be kept and treasured for years. Powerful words are worth reading again and again – which explains why there are letters from the past displayed in museums today. We are sure there are some who keep past letters and notes in a shoe box, hidden at a corner in their homes! Could you be one of them?
#02 It validates the importance of a relationship and your genuineness
Taking the time to send a thoughtful hand crafted note is evidence that one cherishes a relationship. Compared to sending text messages where you can delete a message sent previously, you only have one shot at making the message perfect and special for the receiver. It shows your commitment to investing the growth of the relationship and your sincerity in strengthening the bond.
#03 It exercises your creativity through typography and doodling
Remember the days where homework consisted of tracing letters of the alphabet on three horizontal lines? Now that you’ve mastered writing the letters, handwritten notes give you a chance to show off your handwriting after all these years of practice! Alternatively, it could also be an opportunity for you to obtain better typography. Don’t forget to add some doodles in the note to enhance the aesthetics of your handwritten letter!
#04 It is universal, speaking to friends in both the older and younger generations
Let’s be honest – technologies have been advancing a little too quickly in today’s age. However, not everybody has the ability to catch up – there are people who may still not know how to send an email or even be proficient in typing on the keyboard. Writing is universal and handwritten letters are old-school methods that speak to people from all generations. It is definitely a manageable medium for all when it comes to sending a wish or greeting!
#05 It promotes mindfulness
The rhythmic movement of putting pen on paper encourages clarity and peace. Besides, without the ‘backspace’ button, it encourages you to slow down as you ponder about the choice of words and put more thought into what you write.
