I’ve been sorting through a box of old papers today. In the process, I’ve found all kinds of letters from my grandparents (all passed away now) and old friends (whom I haven’t seen for years).

Having some serious nostalgia right now.

Note to self: letters can live a whole lot longer than spoken words, so take some time to write them to the people you care about.

Also - make sure to actually send the letters. The amount of written but unsent letters of mine that I’m finding is staggering.

It also probably explains why I don’t have any pen pals anymore... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Thinking face" aria-label="Emoji: Thinking face">

Oh goodness. I just found a “Proclaimation” by the “Qween” (8-year-old me) ordering all my subjects to come to the palace in “alphabetick” order and show me their trade. I also promised protection from “jelous persons” on the way. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😄" title="Smiling face with open mouth and smiling eyes" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with open mouth and smiling eyes">

Also stickers. How many sheets of unused Lisa Frank stickers do I have??? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😱" title="Face screaming in fear" aria-label="Emoji: Face screaming in fear">

Ah, I just found my comic book about an orphan girl who used a Do-It-Yourself Magic book to grow a tail like a monkey and run away from the orphanage. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy">
