Then, in the spirit of positivity, may I mention to you about Postcrossing? 😊 You always have something to share, as a unique and beautiful human. Share what is on your heart. ❤ Not a pain to send - I letterlock, then put it in an ordinary envelope for the modern postal service. 😁
No, but it is still designed as a sort of a security measure. If it arrives folded neatly and still properly sealed, you can be reasonably sure no one read it on its way to you.
@caesarsalad77 There was I think a way to roll up a piece of paper in a spiral and write the message out. And unless you knew the original spiral, you couldn't figure it out. Something they used to do in Europe a few hundred years ago perhaps.
@@garyb6219 There are a few like that, yes. The ancient Greeks used a cylinder called a Scytale to do it. And unless you had one of the same size on the receiving end, you couldn't get the letters to line up easily.
This channel always makes me want to write and fold s beautiful letter. Then I realize I have nothing to say and no one to write to.
Check out a site called global pen friends. Find a penpal, and start a conversation. It's a lot of fun!
@@upcoming my thoughts exactly. Even just getting it to someone if I wanted to would be a pain.
Sigh, me too.

I think it's interesting how many distinct folding styles John Donne used for his letters!
A good uncomplicated one!
Beautiful.
I thought it would be a secret way to write a letter across the folds of a paper with the key being the original alignment. Dang.

@@caesarsalad77 That was it, thanks!
Some traditions would’ve been nice to keep.
Be the change you want to see.
No odd cuts or folds? I like this one.
Me too!
My biggest gripe about some of these letters is that they take 15-minutes, three hands, and rain dance to complete.
