Maybe I’ve seen too many Lifetime movies or a few too many war documentaries with lost love letters, but those stories always warm my heart. So perhaps for Valentine’s Day, instead of a Hallmark greeting, we should write a love letter. In our techy lives, actually writing a letter on paper is a lost art. A love letter is tangible. It can be cherished forever and read over and over again. It also means the writer has to sit down and actually take pen in hand, and maybe throw a draft or 2 away. It also makes the lover actually think hard about their words (and not use the default thesaurus) and not just tap, tap away. So this Valentine’s Day, write a letter or tell your loved one that’s what you’d like (along with the thoughtful gift!)
