If I sent you a letter, would you...?

...Omonoba...
Our people say:
Yoruba: Ení bá sùn là ńjí, a kì í jí apiroro.
Eng: One wakes only those that sleep; one does not wake those pretending to sleep. - Yoruba proverb.

Pictures out of my letterbox:


^Bad handwriting day.

^One of the letters I received from my Secondary School Junior friends.

^

All these letters are years apart. I still write letters. I'm advocating for the useful old traditions that we once had like letter-writing. Remember to be careful with what you write because 'once written, forever there.'

Find a loved one and send them a letter. AND KEEP THEIRS

Hang in there, you just may receive a letter from me!!!

  7. I used to love letters too and kept most of mine. Nowadays, emails and phones have overtaken that love. I look forward to receiving a letter from you though.

  8. true talk...there's nothing like receiving handwritten letters! I miss writing and receiving letters. Though I still get letters from my grandma, it's funny when she says 'don't forget to write me'(over the phone).lol
