u/somedrawer Thank you for all your advice! They’re all stuff that I feel like we’ve all heard at one point or another, but they are truths we must take into mind because it really does contribute to our lives. I plan on looking into studying abroad because I know that this freedom and fun that I have now in college is all temporary but worthwhile, so I should make the most of it. Although it is expensive, I plan on studying abroad maybe for a summer semester, as those are shorter. Thank you for all your kind words and for the reminder to invest early! I love your hello kitty Washi tape and the nature Washi as well. Very decorative!

u/stephkempf Wait wait you found this postcard in a bar??? Is that what your message means? That’s honestly? So cool? Haha, I guess they encourage people to penpal while drinking as a little pastime. That’s funny but also really sweet that they had these. Thank you very much for your card!!

u/GizmoDOS Your cursive is like founding father handwriting! It’s so pretty! Thank you for much for your doctor who card. I remember loving this show as a kid. Also, your stamp that reads “postcards from time and space” is wonderful and matches perfectly. Thanks once again!! I appreciate it tons.

u/peonynote Wow! Thank you for your little doodles! They remind me of what I’d draw in middle and high school when I was bored in class and wasn’t paying attention to the lesson. They’re great to pass the time and have a bit of fun.

u/miav Can I just comment on how nicely decorated your envelope and card is? You put so much thought and effort into it, and I cannot thank you enough. I appreciate the goodies you included: the washis and the stickers. I have seen people wrap Washi around a card like this to preserve it just once, in a YouTube video, but I have never seen it in real life until right now. It is such a delightful treat to receive this in my mailbox. Thank you for your consideration and generosity! Your presence makes this community all the better.

u/Soleiletta Thank you so much for telling me about a childhood memory! That’s such a cool experience; even thought it might have been scary to almost get in trouble with the park ranger for accidentally trespassing at the beach, I am glad that they ultimately let you and your brothers off with a mere warning. Also, I don’t know if this is an intentional effect on your pen’s behalf, but your ink seems to fade from light to dark and cycles through this throughout all the words. Perhaps it was running out of ink, or there is some way to intentionally achieve this gradient effect? Either way, it is super cute and I love it! It’s pretty.

u/kittycatcon I hope your move in 3 weeks goes smoothly! It’s always kind of a hassle to move a bunch of boxes, but being in a new place is a wonder. Have fun! The beaches are super nice for sure. Also, thank you so much for putting thought into matching your card colors with the envelope and the Washi tape. It’s super creative and I noticed it immediately.

u/melhen16 Thank you so much for your Simone Biles quote, as well as your beautiful stickers! I appreciate it so much, your card is heartwarming.
