Why did we stop writing?
Not typing. Not tapping.
Writing—with our own hands. With ink that smudges. With lines that curve differently when we’re tired or in love.
We used to write letters to say “I miss you.”
Cards to say “I remember you.”
Notes to say “You matter.”
Now we send emojis.
And something beautiful is slowly disappearing.
When we write, something stays.
Not just the words—but the emotion, the moment, the person we were while writing.
A page holds our pauses. Our pressure. Our tears if they fall.
Writing is therapy.
Not expensive. Not fancy.
Just a pen and some paper, and the honesty we usually hide from ourselves.
Writing doesn’t need Wi-Fi.
It just needs *you*.
So why did we stop?
Maybe we got too busy.
Maybe the world got too fast.
Maybe someone told us our words weren’t good enough.
But maybe it’s time to return.
To find a quiet moment.
To grab a notebook.
To write a letter that we never sent.
To write a page we never share.
To let something out and leave something behind.
Because the moment we write it down, we don’t carry it alone anymore.

Georgi Kisyov – Reflections & Books 
Congratulations on the beautiful poem, Georgi! I also feel well represented when I write, and of course when I paint, too. So why the reticence when it comes to writing? Nowadays, it seems to be a form that has almost disappeared. Like so many other forms of expression and art, it will be replaced by AI. This is why I believe it is of paramount importance to motivate each other. Nothing can replace the personality and characterisation that only a face and the emotions behind it can convey. Send you my motivational vibe 🙂

I feel guilty all the time. If that’s could be some kind of reassurance(for me).

This was a great post! I make it a point to send Thank you cards and an occasional letter just to let someone know I was thinking of them. People value these personal communications so much more than an emoji in a text.

Hello there,
Thank you so much for sharing this—it’s such a beautiful practice. There really is something timeless about a handwritten card or letter; it carries presence, effort, and heart in a way that digital messages can’t. I love that you make it a point to do this. You’re right—those little gestures mean so much more than an emoji. 🌿✍️💌
Have a wonderful Friday.
Regards,
GK
