We has this penpal thing back in school, you send a letter to an unknown kid somewhere, the schools exchanged the letters and made the letter network (which kid wrote to the other one, so when you write back, your letter gets sent to the same kid).
Anyway, I wrote the first letter and gave some basic info, my name, my parent’s names, what I’m interested in, some interesting books I’ve read, etc. I got a reply from the other end, some girl from another town (can’t remember the name now though) and this letter was a 6 page dissertation on her dolls… I just said fuck it 🤷.
