I could go through Facebook, Twitter, call them over the phone, or even by sending a simple text message. However, writing a letter is still a decently common form of contact between individuals. Now a days, people get excited over a letter in the mail. When I open the mailbox and see an envelope with my name on it, I am excited to see what the envelope has in store for me. I feel as if this creates a feeling that a text message just doesn&#8217;t create. I also believe that writing a letter is more personal. It shows that you took the time to gather the materials and put aside a few minutes to write out something\u00a0meaningful. I wrote my letter to one of my closest friends who I haven&#8217;t seen since I went off to college. We will be seeing each other this weekend as we fly to Philadelphia together to see Rihanna and Coldplay perform, so I hope she will receive this letter before we head out. While I haven&#8217;t written a letter in some time, it didn&#8217;t feel the least abnormal to me. I assume this is because it&#8217;s similar to sending a very long, personal text message &#8211; which I frequently do send. This probe showed me that writing a letter may be outdated, but it has remained an excellent way to let someone know that you&#8217;re thinking about them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are several different media platforms in which I can send a friend a message.
