I wish physical pen pals still existed

Look I'm not that old. But I remember in primary school we had assignments where we'd make an imaginary letter to an imaginary pen pal.

Then the teacher would tell us about how kids before the internet had random pen pals they'd send hand written letters to and wait for the correspondence.

And... It hasn't left my mind since. I want to do that now, as an adult. I wanna write a letter to a stranger I've never met, wait two weeks, and read it and read it and respond with another handwritten letter.

There is something so romantic about this but not in a romantic love way I mean in a romantic life way.

I miss something that I've never even had before. The problem is, I will not hand out my personal address to a stranger. Maybe if I had a P.O. box... maybe
