But why despite of e-mail and several social media sites like Facebook  there are still some individuals who do snail mail? Check out our Top 5 Reasons:

1. They love to express their artistic side.

Most people who do snail mail are those who enjoy doings crafts, cutouts and hand le
tters. They also enjoy designing an envelope with water color, stickers and fancy washi tapes.

2. Snail Mail is more personal than e-mails

Though you can send your message in one click (and can be received by the recipient as soon as you send it), snail mail is more personal as it is handwritten. The fact that it is written word by word, the envelope is designed with love and dedication plus someone exerted an effort to drop it in a post office, who wouldn't be touched when someone send you a letter?

3. They found a special outlet.

All of us have friends that we meet in person every day whom we share our secrets and stories but pen pals also serve as special outlets of emotions. Sometimes whenever we feel sad or we have this problem that we can't share to anybody, our pen pal is always there to read it. 

4. Good things come to those who wait PATIENTLY.

Yes, patiently! Letters arrive at your mail box around 1 week to as long as 60 days. Whoa. That's really a long period. But this waiting time adds the element of surprise and when you receive it, it's truly worth the wait. Often your pen pal gives you tiny yet sweet gifts like a bag of tea or key holder.

5. They are timeless.
Unlike talking to your friends on Facebook messenger or in any messaging applications, snail mail letters are truly timeless and can be read anytime you feel too without scrolling on unnecessary conversations.
