Its easy to make connections i wish more people would take advantage of the sent and received option so can keep track and know whether a letter is on its way or if a penpal has just backed away for what ever reason.

I decided to create an account here based on a Reddit post I saw. It's always been on my bucket list to have a pen pal, so I don't regret my decision at all! Overall, it's been a positive experience
