But one thing is sure - they care deeply about each other. They count on each other to listen, and writing letters helps them sort out complicated issues and scary feelings at a time when being together is just not possible. By talking about their differences, they actually become better friends than ever. E-mail is a great way to keep in touch. Sometimes it's just a quick way of saying hello - kind of like talking on the phone.
Some people put more time and effort into their messages.
Thanks to the internet, you can get into discussions with all kinds of people instantly. And they wouldn't be online if they didn't like to write. A good, solid letter that someone has gone to the trouble of sending via the U.S. Mail. Find a pen or pencil you really like - one that feels good in your hand. Find paper or a card that suits your mood, too.
