Yours truly…
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
This week the Living section of the AJC ran an article about a new book out called “Other People’s Love Letters: 150 letters you were never meant to see.”
You can read the full story here.
What’s really beautiful about the collection is that it’s not just all the ushy gushy love letters. Many of them are breakup notes or letters written during difficult times in relationships. Additionally, many of them are in nontraditional letter format—screenshots of cell phone text messages, notes on napkins and e-mails.
Do you keep old love letters? I know I have a box buried away somewhere at my parents’ house. But I have pruned the collection over time, throwing out letters that didn’t mean as much to me or those from suitors I’d long since stopped loving.
What’s the best love letter (text, e-mail, sticky note) you’ve ever received? Have you ever sent a note you thought was particularly poetic? Have you ever handwritten a breakup note or a letter about your disgust for someone?
Do you think it means more to receive a handwritten letter now that we live in an era of texting and e-mail? When was the last time you handwrote a love note?
