Science itself explains very well why it's important to use pen and paper and write on them. The communication between the brain and the heart is fantastic. As many of us know, screens have taken over a lot of ground in this area. When we tell someone to take a notebook and write down the websites they've visited, it's not very appealing. Besides, the handwriting that was once so demanded of us is necessary to understand a message written on paper.
Love letters and verses are important, and we should highlight those young people who compose beautiful lines. We should applaud them and encourage them to put them down on paper. Those little notes, those slips of paper used to pass information between classmates, or the "see you after school" texts were very sweet, although there were others in poor taste. I like to write down thoughts that cross my mind, or awkward situations that arise, or requests to God in those moments when we don't see or feel that He hasn't heard us. Whether in a planner or notebook, with pencil or pen, giving shape to the letters, to the thoughts, letting things out and leaving them imprinted, not on a screen.
The truth is, it's been a long time since I've received love letters. Everything is taken for granted. It seems that those moments we consider romantic also need to be rescued… if the other person doesn't do it, well, we have to start.
I remember during my teenage years, at Christmastime, I would buy cards, write them, add sweet Christmas messages, go to the post office in my town, and mail them so they would reach different streets in town, delivering a message of love at Christmas. I never did it on Valentine's Day because of the way that day was perceived; it was only for those who had a partner, a boyfriend, and that was it. Love was seen differently then, and receiving a gift on that day was a big commitment to face with the family.
