    "How much can I fit into 1 envelope so I only have to use 1 stamp?" Story of my life when I got into penpalling and had to learn about envelope sizes and thickness and stamps and all that jazz.
    As someone who penpals a lot, I can 100% tell you that letters with effort are SO much more appreciated and exciting to receive than letters with a bunch of washi tape and stickers on them to replace creativity and effort. Your letter was absolutely amazing.

    Okay like... risking to sound absolutely absurd and cliché I’ll say that it’s like fate put you in my recommendations, just a 12 minute video inspired me to put more effort in the small things I do cuz these past years I’ve been so unmotivated and unproductive even tho I used to be a very creative and imaginative person and I used to put so much effort in my paintings and crafts and do everything so extra like these beautiful letters you created. Now I’ve become introverted and asocial, laying around all day being useless , not managing to keep up with my studies... definitely disappointing yes. But something about you reminded me of that lost part of me and now I’m definitely more motivated to put more effort in bringing back that spark of creativity. So I thank you dearly .

Believe me, there are so many times when I feel that way as well- it's normal. No matter what it is you put effort into- even if it is small trivial things or not what you feel you are supposed to put it into- if it can bring you some joy or fulfillment, it's worth it. So happy to hear that this could bring even the tiniest spark of that to you- hope you chase that spark wherever it leads you in the future~

    This is just so beautifully touching, everything about it. The gentle music, your narrations, the sounds of the paper folding, your painting skills. All the extra thought like making your own seals and stickers. It brought a tear to my eye to see such artistry and care. Instant subscribe haha x
