Writing letters is risky

I still sometimes write letters

But in recent years,
I feel letters are really dead

Actually letters can be even risky

Let's say,

you have a friend, romantic partner, lover, whoever, living in another country

This means;

1 — It takes several days or weeks for a letter to arrive

2 — Communication depends on online tools(texting／calling)

---

One day, you write a letter

But there is always the possibility that
the situation between the two of you would have changed by the time the letter is delivered

Today, you write a heartfelt love letter

But there is always the possibility that
the relationship would have dissolved before it arrives

Because;

1 — Letters take time to reach

2 — During that time, daily communication is still happening online, and a single word, message, or trivial misunderstanding, could change everything

---

Obviously,
the above is what actually happened to me over the past couple of years

And now, in this day & age,
I see a letter is "safe" only when daily, frequent communication is NOT happening with the receiver
