The Art of Learning to Use a Pen…No, It’s Not a New Toy

I have a secret. I’ve discovered something even better than sexting.

Handwritten letters.

My god, there is nothing hotter than seeing my boyfriend’s handwriting scrawled across a piece of paper. Especially when the words detail everything he loves about me. What he’s going to do when he sees me again. How he dreams about me when he’s gone.

There’s no filter. No backspace button. His handwritten notes give me direct insight into what my man is thinking, but even more than that, it’s a tangible piece of him I can hold when he’s away. Knowing that he sat down and took the time to handwrite his thoughts makes me feel closer to him. I’ve started writing back, and if I have my way, we’ll do this for the rest of time. It’s the one benefit of being with a man who travels so much.

Do yourself a favor. Take out a pen and paper and try it out with me…
