Love letters

Wednesday, September 24, 2008
These days no one writes anything for themselves, they just find someone else more articulate to do it for them. For example, the ACT education minister taking a speech directly from the TV show The West Wing. Yes, that actually happened.

Anyway, the point is that I have found someone who has written 400 love letters.

"Letters to lovers, letters about fucking or falling in love for real, or love that can never work. Letters to people hurting, letters that are offers of help, fan letters. Letters to family (the hardest), letters to the people who make my day better in a hundred small ways every time I see them, crush letters, of course, big crush letters."

Now all you need to do is hunt through them and work out which ones you want to send and to who. This way people won't think you're emotionally 'tarded like they do when you make them a mixtape because you can't actually talk to them. We've all been there.

Here are some examples of the kind of intimacy they believe is lacking from society.

LADYDEE Royalty LADYDEE ON 23 Oct 2008 12:50:10PM I can't believe she can find that many men to write to! Lucky girl. reminds me of marty on grease and all her penpals in the navy: "hopelessly devoted to each and every one of 'em" there's a great book called "four letter word" that's a collection of modern love letters written by authors like jeanette winterson, margaret atwood, leonard cohen etc, that tries to rediscover the lost charm of the love letter. check it out!
