Responses to last week's video, Letters to strangers:
"A letter tells me that a friend sat in front of a piece of paper and thought about me without the social buffer of cat videos or dank memes, and that makes the message so much more powerful." - Yang
"A written message carries with it the assumption that someone took the time to prepare to write it; that someone decided to communicate in a way that was more difficult for them." - Anonymous
" . . . I have found myself unwilling to start over if I make a mistake writing in pen in a letter . . . This is not because I do not care enough about the person I am writing to, but because I like that they, as they read, will be able to see my thought process. They can see an error and know that that slip of the pen or slip of the mind is unmistakably my unfiltered self . . ." - Margaret W.
