When in the old days you would wait for a confirmation from somebody that they received your message by post AND expecting their reply every single month? I love the anticipation and wondering in the old analog world, all the sadness and melancholy during the wait, all the joy and excitement looking at a sealed envelope . These days everything’s bottle neck originates from procrastination 99% coz email and messaging is so instant. You don’t get a chance to wonder what happens in a chain of potential mishaps and you treasure less of everything. I remember months of waiting for a letter from a girl I loved so much when I was in Canada while she was in Australia. To me, a written message with a pen and a heart sending from afar is most romantic. How about nowadays? What is romantic these days?
