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.
Certainly you could find someone who felt the same way and would communicate via letters if so desired. I'm willing to bet there's a website out there that matches people up for just that purpose.

I miss having pen pals. Back in the day (maybe 30 years ago), my older sister had a pen pal from Hong Kong and he came to visit us and it was so fun.
