Fact: I am utterly romantic for a personal, handwritten letter in the mail, complete with a self-adhesed stamp. Fact: I am more likely to send a Facebook message to my loved ones instead of a letter through the post. Conclusion: Emails might be the better option here.
Perhaps it's because I have a new handy-dandy MacBook, but accessing my emails use to be a hassle; one that I was all too accustomed to ignore until my inbox began over 1000 messages deep. Now, with a simple button, I can check and send emails instantly.
So, lately, I've found a little time in my busy days to sen out a short but sweet email to Damon. I think it must have started when he sent me one a few weeks ago, but I rather like the You've Got Mail style of communication. I feel like I can type just about any minor musing I've had in my day. With txt, my musings tend to warrant a response or reaction. But in Facebook, they are seemingly impersonal....the biggest flaw in social networking. Letters don't get there in time, and Skype only works when carefully planned out in advance.
Emails seem conversational and tend to be longer. Sometimes they merely request one's attendance at a choir concert, but other times they want to lay out for the recipient what the sender will be facing for the day ahead. And when I receive a reply, my eyes glisten as I carefully read each sentence written back to me. Even through type, their language is clear to see, and I have such fun reading the emails I've received lately.
