Pen Pals!

Hey Everyone! 

So I know a few people on here have pen pals and so I wanted to make a thread where we can share the things we send to others (keeping it confidential of course!). I need some inspiration on personalising my letters and including artsy bits! 

Also, where does everyone get their supplies from?

    Nice thread! I wouldn't do penpals purely out of penmanship haha 

    But I would consider it when get back to college as I can type and print 😂

    There’s a group on Facebook called positive pen pals that’s where I found most of mine 

    I really do enjoy it it gives me a sense of purpose sometimes when things are rubbish 
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    @Aidan I really enjoy it, it is exactly like talking to Internet strangers! Its nice to chat with someone who is from somewhere different and get to know them. I also think you get to know them for more of who they are rather than focusing on appearances or anything!

    @Past User You can totally have an email pen pal, I have one currently and its just as good!
