Why did people stop writing letters? Letters are such a beautiful, meaningful thing. You cannot compare a letter with an e-mail. Every single detail of the letter can be used to transfer emotion. An e-mail cannot do that. Computers don't have emotions, don't have souls. Imagine you receive a letter. The envelope is made from vintage, thick paper, a little rough to the touch, but still carrying the romantic spirit of the past. You can touch it, you can smell it, you can feel it. And what can you do with an e-mail? See it. And that's it. Ridiculous. When I was little and still wasn't aware that such things as computers could do stuff like that, I always wished to receive a love letter. A beautiful love letter, in a artsy envelope with a beautiful old-fashioned stamp, from the older collections. And the address in my dreams was always Paris. It always came from Paris. When I found these pictures, all of these thoughts just streamed into my head.
Let us all keep a moment of silence to another beauty lost to our "modern" world.

It won't be my post, if it doesn't have a music background, so let us jump once again in the nostalgic mood with Poets of the Fall.
