Mythical thrift store find! These babies are made out of handmade paper with marigold and bougainvillea petals pressed into the paper. I can’t get over the paper texture! 🍂🌸🌷🍁

So, it’s been a few years...

I started writing pen pal letters in the thick of covid to help combat loneliness. I had never felt more deeply alone than I did then. Every now and then, it still bubbles up.

But I am eternally grateful to all of the lovely people that I met on this app and who faithfully wrote to me week after week. There is one person in particular who has stuck with me through college transfers, stalls in replying, and numerous highs and lows in my life.

Long story short, I love writing letters and I’m very grateful to have met many lovely people who share the same passion. Hopefully, I’ll meet many more. Until then, I wanted to extend the warmest wishes to the people who have been a part of my pen pal journey. Thanks y’all ❣️
