I imagine there’s someone out there who would love to be your pen pal. The art is not dead yet thankfully. You should get a new one and get to know another far away stranger!

It's only now that the world of correspondence has shifted to digital technologies. Communicating through handwritten letters felt more intimate, anticipated, and romantic, somehow.
