    The idea of having an anonymous Pen Pal is really appealing to me. A lot of people talk about the importance of honesty in relationships however it's hard to be honest about yourself to people whose opinion of you will affect your life. The thought of being completely honest with someone I'll likely never meet sounds very freeing. No one I know right now; friends, past friends, family, co-workers knows who I really am because I won't let them. I can see the idea of Pen Pals as being very beneficial for mental health.

      I have an online pen pal. I don't even know his name. He lives on the other side of the world. we've been talking for a year! Makes sharing problems easy!

    I used to do pen pals as a kid. It was fun. But we fell off and lost connection. This is something I want to do again just cuz I don't really have any friends. And it's really hard to make any when ur an adult. I'd like to do traditional handwritten letters just cause it's not like I have something exciting going on everyday and receiving a letter is something to look forward to.

    I want a pen pal but I'm so shy and my life isn't all that interesting right now. But maybe I could find something to talk about, and maybe getting a pen pal might help me overcome my social anxiety idk. I love the idea of receiving hand written letters. I might try this out sometime.

    I am so happy to find this video! Through the years I've made friends through penpalling. But, I had come to believe that it, no longer had any popularity. In the past, I've always written to individuals I hoped to meet at some time. But now, I feel the need, the interest, and the curiosity to write anonymously to someone who remains a mystery of the soul. I have developed a great intimacy with the practice of the Art of Letter Writing. And having a pen pal again enthuses in me a creativity I've somewhat abandoned for lack of another religiously involved in the art. But I now feel I shall try it again since I miss the much less shallow person one can become through the disappearing art.
    I am certain, I'd prefer snail mail, through which to communicate. And finally, I'd be willing to put to use my wonderful, and precious butter-tipped fountain pen, which my brother gave me some years ago. I have of yet never written with it, because I've felt it is much too precious to waste on anything of the inconsequential every day. What new places are now opening in my soul, at this moment! Hoping to find the precise, proper use of my awaiting pen? As a key to a place exotic and magical my pen, (I know) has all of the time been waiting!. And I'm so grateful for its patience.
    There is such a feeling of joyful anticipation in thinking, hoping, I'll enter a realm again which keeps the maintenance of my soul at its possible Best! Thank you, for all your information.✍🙏and 🤍offered in appreciation!

    I have been pen palling for almost 30 years. Facebook has pen pal groups. Over 90% of pen pallers are female. And 90% of them won't write men. I never used a PO box until I moved somewhere that had no In Town mail delivery. :P
