Growing up in the 80s & 90s, we still had a deep connection with the written word. We were taught to write Personal Invitations & Thank You notes. A handwritten letter is a means to cherish a feeling and a contain a memory, much like a photograph. Now in the 21st century, where technology has taken over our relationships, and social validation is more important than building a strong connect, we’ve forgotten things that really mattered at one time. These days, Forwarded WhatsApp messages for your friends birthday or a festival greeting is considered normal. Facebook reminds us of someone’s birthday or an important event. Make meaningful connections! Express Yourself!
Make Meaningful Connections
If we could take a few minutes to go that extra mile and let your friends and family know that you truly care, we could probably avoid a lot of the cases we see today like postpartum depression, anxiety, school shootings and the likes. We must not forget that since thousands of years, the human race has survived only because of the sense of community. Say it before it’s too late, y’all.
Express Yourself

This post is related to me because I too believe in expressing myself and connecting to my dear ones whether they want to or not…
Efforts should be shown, when they are special for us, I believe this
Staying connected is the great concern of the new age living. Remembering the loved ones on their special days and sending them greetings is one good way of staying in touch.
Thanks for sharing.
Love the cards – so cute. And what a colourful way to bring back the written word!
In today’s fast paced world, we conveniently use electronic media to send wishes. However, they lack the personal connect which a card or hearing a voice do the same, does. Till today I love hand written letters and cards over emails and e cards. They’re thoughtful, personal and full of love.
How beautiful cards and how very beautiful thought you shared.
Ah, those days of greetings cards that were store bought or hand made. I shall try to send my friends and relatives a few greeting cards this year. Let’s see their reaction.
Handwritten notes and cards have their own charm. With technology we are forgetting to share the former and use pre-written forward messages. good reminder post.
Cute cards. But I think the best way to express yourself if you really want to is through handwritten letters. It’s still not dead. If people use it, the mode will live on.
beautiful cards .. my son mostly gifts us handwritten cards..
My students did give me a personalised card for teacher’s day. The feeling is so very personal. Everyone must connect this way
Love when someone communicates with cards. It’s so personal and heart touching
How true! Staying connected not through Likes on social media but with real words to the individual makes the bond stronger and lives meaningful.
This is so important post.
I am willing to receive or give words as gifts, anytime.
Indeed our generation has lost its charm in the art of going the extra mile to communicate! I agree totally!
I still send hand written letter to my loved ones. I love these cards, what a wonderful way to bring back the hand written messages. Loved the idea.
You reminded of days when we would go to card shops and browse through cards. . Haven’t done that in ages
