1. Heartfelt handwritten Love letters
I am a big sucker for old school romance and I really feel a great appreciation for those people who squeezed their minds and grabbed their pens just to confess something in this kind of creative way. I admire those people because nowadays there are even less and less used paper and more and more one-liner typed letters sent over the internet.
And the worst thing these days? There are even less and less guys who writes a long-pen-and-paper-written love letter because there’s more and more of them who thinks it’s gayshit. I mean, hear this from us guys, we love to receive these kinds of stuffs, the one that we could read while the teacher/professor is discussing or while walking or before sleeping and just read it all over again and just not stop the overly stretched grin plastered across our faces.
Another shitty thing is, in this modern day world where guys thinks they could just get any girl they want just by chatting them— which somehow serves them conveniently well because young girls think that that is freaking romantic, girls, think again, that is instant romance and I’ve been there and I think that chatting or texting as a way of courtship is a bridge we should burn when it comes to courtship— telling them clipped craps that made them giddy and “in love”, well think again. That is not great lengths of effort because anyone can do that to anyone. (I am not saying that we should not chat or text, I mean, it’s already a way for us to keep in touch but it shouldn’t be used to court a girl.)
The next shitty thing is even worse than the worst. Girls writing the love letters instead of the other way around. I mean, I have experienced this and it’s not really a bad thing because I am in love and I love writing long love letters of sweet nothings every single day just to profess my love. I’m not saying this is a bad thing, what I’m saying is guys could do it to girls too. And it’s not really that awful but just come to think of it, why did I do it? Because I don’t receive them from someone I like.(Oops, I did, a few. And that really made me SUPER DUPER HAPPY because I don’t get a lot of that from someone I really love.) And I received a lot of them from someone I don’t really like and I’m sorry that I let my Mom read them and keep them and now I don’t know where they are. Some of them are really sweet and full of effort but I just didn’t get the feels back then and if I can find them around the house right now, I would read them and appreciate them, because back when I received them, I didn’t. And my point here is, I should appreciate more of those (although sometimes what is written won’t be reciprocated) because that kind of stuff is not in their nature and if someone made them for you, they must really like you. Because no asshole would think that a love letter can make a girl swoon especially if that girl likes you. (I am not generalizing, and somewhere out there, few of them survived.)
So the next time I receive one, I am going to keep it.
Because it was already too late when I realize the value of something that is slowly depleting as time goes by. But I hope I got the message across and I hope we should all start to shut the effing chatbox down and stop asking someone for their number over the internet. You don’t know the effing person just because you saw her profile picture. And you don’t get a really good thrill by telling I love you on a computer or a phone.
I wrote this to bring back the old times. The time when guys think love letter is one of the best way to get through a woman’s heart. The long, hard and very “un-technologized” way to that path.
