A handwritten letter carries a lot of risk. It's a one-sided conversation that reveals the truth of the writer. Furthermore, the writer is not there to see the reaction of the person he writes to, so there's a great unknown to the process that requires a leap of faith. The writer has to choose the right words to express his sentences, and then, once he has sealed the envelope, he has to place those thoughts in the hands of someone else, trusting that the feelings will be delivered, and that the recipient will understand the writer's intent. How childish to think that could be easy. Adriana Trigiani
About This Quote

A handwritten letter is a powerful way to express your emotions and thoughts. With a letter, you can be as open and honest as you want. No one will judge you, and there's no risk of miscommunication because they won't be able to see your face or hear your voice. The recipient will also have the opportunity to read your thoughts and feelings at their own pace and in their own way.
