Overflowing words

Yesterday was cleaning day.
I'm a pretty very messy person, and I tend to let my room become a battlefield before I get sick of it, polish it to perfection and then let it fall back into the same chaos for a week or so.
Yesterday was one of those days when I really felt like curling up under my covers and ignoring the world, but I rolled my sleeves up and got on with cleaning, tidying, organizing and unpacking my bags from my Stockholm trip.
However, the middle drawer of my desk was jammed - and I'm actually surprised it hasn't gotten stuck way back since that's where I keep all of my stationeries, letters and postcards.

Since I was a kid I've always loved writing and receiving letters. I've gotten a little bad at it lately, somehow the words doesn't really flow as freely as when I was 14, but I've kept almost all of the letters and postcards that I've gotten over the years, and this is only a franction of my collection.




I have two overflowing boxes and a very thick file filled with words from loved ones all over the world - even though most of them are in Japanese or Swedish.



I think letters are one of the sweetest ways to communicate. While I'm a pretty impatient person who prefers text and phonecalls in most cases, there is nothing like receiving a thick envelope filled with the rambling nonsense or a friend who picked up a pen to chase boredom away, or BIG NEWS that you already heard trough facebook or other social media - but still can appreciate so much more now that it's written in their own sprawling or flowing hand writing. ♥
It seems I might have to pick up my never ending chase of decent stationeries again(I have yet to find any shop that carries a decent supply of stationeries in Sweden..), I have some Japanese friends that I haven't talked to in far, far too long.
Until next time. ♥
