11 Reasons Why World Needs More Love Letters

Ever since the written word has become one of the methods of communication, love letters have existed as a form of expressing one’s deep feelings and sharing them with his loved ones. Love letters have served the romantic purpose of discovering mutual emotions in a relationship between two lovers. As such, love letters have played a prominent role in classic poetry and literature.

Today, letters are largely sidelined as a mean of communication, and love letters have also become a sort of rarity. Nevertheless, love letters, as a relic of bygone and romantic times, have a special allure even in our modern age.

The fast-paced style of living today favors instant communication. Love letters, however, are an old-fashioned way of putting one’s emotions on paper. Here are some reasons why we need more love letters in our modern, sometimes hectic world.

Get in Touch With Your Inner Self

Expressing your love for someone in a love letter lets you discover yourself and your inner emotions. You are not only opening to another being and admitting your love, you are also making an effort to get to know your own emotions. A love letter lets you discover yourself through love.

Express Yourself

Writing a love letter is a wonderful way of expressing your emotions, desires and affections. It also nurtures your creative capacities and lets you develop emotional intelligence, which is an important factor in any successful relationship. Find a new way to express your love. Practice your creativity and play with words.

Better Relations between People

A genuine love letter is always honest, and honesty builds trust among people. Regardless of the person, you direct your love letter to, mother, sister, husband, wife or a girlfriend or boyfriend, it is bound to have benefits in your relationship with the persons you care about. Telling your loved one how much you appreciate them will mean a lot to them and you will understand each other better than before.

Discover Real Interaction

Too often we understand communication for granted. Our notion of communicating with other people has been reduced to a few short messages, smilies or emoji. Love letters require a real effort and not just clicking on a right icon in your messenger.

True love also takes time. Composing a love letter can teach people to recognize the real meaning of patience in a world where everybody is too busy for real sharing.

Admit Your Feelings

How many times have you find it nearly impossible to admit your feelings in person? This can be extremely difficult and many people have trouble talking about their emotions. There can be thousands of reasons why you can’t admit your love in person. But there is no reason why this can’t be done on paper. A love letter is a perfect mean of overcoming your anxiety and recognizing your love.

Love Letters are Romantic

Everybody needs a little romantic in their lives. If you are in a relationship and you feel like you need to do something to spark things up, writing a love letter to your partner is a perfect way to bring the romantic flavor.

Moreover, a love letter shows that you are willing to work on your relationship and your partner will know how to appreciate it.

In a world where people have increasingly less time for others, and communication is reduced to a few smilies on the screen, a love letter stands out as a true mark of commitment.

The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Words are powerful. We often disregard the fact how words can influence people and this is especially true in the case of people we care about. A love letter is a symbol of love put on paper. Unlike modern means of communication where words are only black prints on the screen, a love letter is more personal and direct.

Writing an old-fashioned love letter gives the person you love a feeling that he/she is unique.

Handwritten Text is Romantic

As we said, love letters are a very personal thing. In the age when handwriting is becoming a rarity and the majority of writing is done by typing, handwritten love letter has a special meaning. The way you write tells something about what kind of person you are, and more importantly, it is extremely romantic.

Tell Your Loved Ones How You Feel

It is great when you know you are being loved, and it is even greater when you have a living proof of that love. The main purpose of the love letter is to convey the message of love and connect you to the person you care about.

Love Letters are Endurable

Emails, phone messages, chat messages and other forms of electronic communication can easily get deleted or lost and there is little chance they will withstand the test of time. Love letters sometimes last for centuries, as a living proof of enduring love.

Improve Writing Skills

Although style and other writing techniques are of secondary importance when love letters are concerned, writing love letters help you develop your writing skills.  Love is always complex and the same goes for talking and writing about it. Only the best writers who had real insight into the inner workings of the human soul could successfully describe the secrets of the heart.

However, you don’t have to be a literary genius to express your feelings toward the person you love. You only need honesty. If you reach for your emotions, you cannot go wrong.

My Rendezvous With Life

The treacherous waters of existence hail in their stride,As the beauty of sailing against the winds uproars in its ride.Benevolence in its yonder stirs the mirth of the true,Navigating the turbulent waves, death and I had a rendezvous.

I sought the beauty of the light that was unseen,In the depths of my muse, I found my world within.Life in its flair, trudged me into the emblems of the dark,The dreams that perspired in the seed embraced their death,As it was time for a new quest to embark.

Quaint whispers that echoed in their gallant stance,The jeers that surmounted the uncertainty galloped in their dance.Silencing the wind, bestriding the fall,I plunged into the entirety of my endeavours that call

Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being.

The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are.

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I Breathe In The Sauntering Air That Collapses My Being

I breathe in the sauntering air that collapses my being,I breathe through the crevices of my existence unseen.Uncertainty in its yonder strikes in bolt on the scars that nobody sees,Redemption that loves, redemption that is free, find me in the depths of my poetry.

Tales of lust ridden in smeared touches that belie,Entreated with envy, the visions of victory lie.To be or not to be in a question that yet lies,For I yearn for a world where fond passion never dies.

Enclasped in the cage of the deemed duty,Bounded in her vows, she forgot she was a thing of beauty.In a realm we live, where amour in its truth fails to stand tall,She, tired of her existence, submerges herself into the beauty that her dreams enthrall.

Chaos in its uproar hails in its darkness
