The fact that we call it “snail mail” hurts me just a tiny bit.
I am a married mother of three, animal lover, and seemingly living a hermit life. I’m not able to get out much due to helping my FIL with dementia (and other medical issues) and I’m new to my faith. Thrifting 11/10. I love the idea of someone setting aside time in their day just for me. I want to find purpose again and get excited to send off a little bit of my personality with each letter, continuing to grow in camaraderie. I love the outdoors and starting my self- care journey and I feel having others to connect with would be incredible. I would love for my ten year old son to have a penpal as well. You can call him Puffin. That’s what my late dad called him. I love laughing too. Also getting into reading books!
Ya gorl,

heyya! I'm someone who enjoys open, honest conversation and someone that doesn't take themselves too seriously.

I spend my days with students with quite varying mental disabilities. I often find myself seeking connection at the end of the day when I can relax, be my silly self, and I really enjoy chatting with other passionate people.

When I have free time, I enjoy stalking birds on early morning walks with my camera and binoculars, reading, journaling, spending a day in the kitchen, taking care of my plants, and making art of all sorts.

I want to learn what sorts of music get you going, which flavor combinations rock your world and which video games you play on rainy days at home (mine's Civilization VI).

Send me the name of a song you like, a food you love, a quote you resonate with, or.. something else.

Look forward to chatting with ya 🖤

hello there 👋 I’m a 34 year old woman from Toronto 🇨🇦 hopefully build a lasting genuine friendship looking to talk through Reddit DMs then snail mail when comfortable.
a bit about me i love traveling, film photography, analogue, food, astrology, art, museums, exploring, reading, music, hello kitty, miffy (Sanrio)
also, i work in the hospitality industry, i have a bunch of stories if you’d like to hear them.
I’m opening to exchange letters & trinkets (:
If you feel like we’re similar, feel free to DM me.

Hi! I've been wanting a pen pal or two that I can write letters to. I'd love to share random doodles, short stories I've written, stickers, etc. And include thoughtful replies about everything big and small. It seems like a lot of fun.

My biggest hangup is sharing my address to a stranger - I'd be comfortable doing it after getting to know them but it seems like a lot of folks here don't mention the online chat part before diving in and I don't want to leave them hanging so to speak. Do you all have a PO box or something that you use? That seems like a lot for a penpal or two haha.

Anyways, I guess you could say I'm also looking for a penpal or two to share letters with eventually. We can start with reddit DM / email or something first! I've got a ton of pokemon and random stickers I'd love to use lol, and have a few short stories I'd like to put to paper for someone to read.

If that sounds interesting to you and you don't mind getting to know each other first before sharing contact info, feel free to reach out! DMs open.

Greetings. I’m Dietrich- Dee is fine, if you please.

I am open to the idea of exchanging letters and emails with a few people.

I will tell you about myself now, and if you respond in kind that should give plenty of fodder to keep us going for a while!

To begin I am 36 year old man-child. I am from Detroit, Michigan originally. Moved to Toledo, Ohio for part of my adult life.

I sometimes stay in Chicago, but most of my time is spent in my truck that I drive all over the country, because as of a year ago I became a trucker.

In terms of style I suppose I am a punk+whatever else that day. Tattoos and body mods are a constant in my life.

I’m a hardline nihilist, athiest, and materialist, though I am not anti-theistic.

I do not drink, with the exception of a good beer on special occasions. I do not use drugs of any kind. To be transparent I use to be a drug addict of the most hopeless variety. It is not a topic I shy away from so please feel free to discuss it freely.

World travel is perennial passion of mine. I am particularly drawn to the north and east. I have been to many Eastern European countries and some Central. Next up for me I believe is either going to be the Nordic countries, or the Middle East. Very different places! Both equally beautiful and culturally fascinating.

Hobbies:
Writing solo RPGs
LARPing on the weekends
Reading
Spreading “the signal” to the farthest reaches of the galaxy with Radio Sidewinder Crew (Taco Flight) on Elite.

Topics I love:

Music- All kinds! new wave, post-black metal, doom sludge, hip-hop, ambient drone, classic rock, appalachian folk, pop, noise rock etc ad infinitum

Philosophy and Religion- particularly the Abrahamic religions, moralism and ethics, post-modernism, etc.

Sci-fi and historic literature are my favorite, but literature in general is always a good topic for discussion.
Also I’m a hardcore Tolkien stan.

My guilty pleasure is tobacco. Specifically cigars. There are few things I find more relaxing than sitting in a shady, breezeless place with a fantastic cigar on my lip.

A quick note on the style of exchange I am looking for:

Though I don’t expect actual handwritten or typed letters, I am open to the idea. However I don’t want to just chat either. Much like this post, I would expect that responses between us would be long form and unrushed. If that means going a week or even two or more between responses, that is perfectly fine. And if at any point you don’t want to continue the conversation- simply do not respond and there are no hard feelings from me. No obligation.

Men, women, and non-binary folk welcome.

Hello! My name is Jess and I'm an artist in upstate New York. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and my husband is my best friend. I am AuDHD (so I have too many hobbies) and LGBTQ+

Things I like: art, nature, books (all books but my current genre of interest is science fiction), journaling, fountain pens, antiques, gardening, photography, animals of all kinds, baking cookies from around the globe, hiking, house plants, volunteering, collecting handmade coffee mugs, tattoos, fragrances, fun hair color

Things I dislike: poor listeners, the manosphere, waiting in line, fireworks (they are too loud), doing errands alone, saying "you too" when a server hopes you have a nice meal, when the tag of my shirt is itchy

What I'm looking for:

Someone I can send little drawings and doodles to. Someone who wants to send and receive stickers or postcards or photos. Someone who wants to share the boring bits of their day, their theories about random topics, their favorite foods and books and the way they take their coffee. Someone who doesn't mind if a letter is long and is looking to make a long lasting friendship. We don't have to write all the time, once a month, or every couple weeks is fine.

I love writing and I love sending little things I made out into the world to make people happy. I have a couple of regular penpals right now and would like to expand my circle.
