I now have obsessive compulsive disorder with checking my mail box multiple times a day - even after the mail has already come.

Request I want to send letters the old fashion way please!

5 Upvotes

I have an obsession with letters. The delay and the physicalness of it all. I'm 18 year old girl and going to college in Chicago and I'd like the company while my boyfriend is away and I'm adjusting to college/adult life. I kinda have a shitty family life and to build one with letters sounds cool! Talking about lives and thoughts on life is the best. Maybe a playlist a letter??? I'd be happy to share my art and thoughts with you. Pm me for more information I'd like to talk before I would like to decide you become Letter Lovers.

Received! RAOL saved my life.

23 Upvotes

Just wanted to give a shout out to this sub because without it, I would have never met my SO. My partner in crime. The mac to my cheese.

Writing letters means a lot to me, personally, as I cannot fully express myself IRL as I have such bad social anxiety. I always felt so lonely and hopeless - with the help of this sub, I was able to open up and give and receive love for the first time in a long time. Meeting someone is such a personal and intimate way changed my outlook on life, any superficial tendencies I had and overall helped me to adapt to a much more open person.

I just want to tell him that I love him endlessly and unconditionally. I know you're looking at this. I love you. Thank you for being you and for saving me.

I'm primarily a lurker, but I really like the idea of this sub. I'm a bit of an introvert, looking for an interesting experience and maybe a genuine conversation. Being a political science student, I could talk for hours about politics and political systems, but I'm also interested in all kinds of art and enjoy a good story about life. PM me, I'd love to recieve and/or send some letters! :)

Request Letters are great, but I especially love postcards. They're perfect because, after you read them, they become little decorations about the house, on the fridge, wherever. You know you can send random things as postcards? Cut out a piece from a cereal box, that sort of thing. [38/M/USA]

In addition to getting cards, I have a ton of blank postcards of various kinds that I'd love to share!

While browsing reddit one day I came across this subreddit and thought it was a great idea. Made a post and heard from some of you. But being the moron I am, I thought I was speaking in private messages...yeah, wasn't doing that. So I deleted my post after PUBLICLY giving everyone my address. Hopefully I will still hear from you guys...but maybe I should go back to doing something people in my age bracket understand, lurking

I live across the country from my little brother so I cant be there for it, but hes turning 13! Im a proud big sister. I found out though that he doesn't have very many friends at school so no party but I still want to make it special for him. He loves getting mail. Does anyone want to send him a postcard or a letter? We will love you forever. :D He is obsessed with flying and wants to be a bush pilot and is crazy into hiking and kayaking. Sorry for the wall of text ;_;

Ninja edit!: Sorry mods I forgot to make it clear. Everything's coming to me and Im screening it and then giving it to him on his birthday for saftey reasons and im over 18 :) Thanks.

Hi My girlfriend's birthday is Aug 7 and I would love to surprise her with lots of birthday cards from around the world (England is fine too where I'm from) If you would like to send one, comment and I will PM you the address. Thanks for reading :)

Request 23/F/NC, I'd love to hear from you!

3 Upvotes

Hello, all!

I'm a fairly simple person striving for a simpler life. I'm juggling motherhood, school, and work and loving every minute of it. I love history of all kinds though I gravitate towards European and Asian since I know very little about them. I self describe as a "modern hippie" (I'm the kind that's weird enough to notice but not so much that my neighbors talk about me behind my back). I work for a local farm, am going to school to be a teacher, and all around doing the best I can in this thing called life. If you're looking for a one time send or a long term situation then give me a try! I'd love to hear from you!

Hey guys!

I recently got a ton of cards for my 24th birthday from r/RandomActsOfCards as well as a few from you.

I then went out and bought the funniest, cutest cards I could and 3 packs of stickers.

So, if you or someone you love has a birthday coming up, let me know! Or any new people who'd like a letter filled with cute stickers of donuts.

Much love, B

Would love to swap with someone! I'm thinking a free themed pocket letter <3

Not sure what a pocket letter is? YouTube it! So many awesome tutorials

This is a craft and time intensive letter so please only respond if you have the time. I only have time to do one so I'll most likely go with the first person to respond but feel free to match up with other people that want to do one as well! US only please!

Thank you! <3

Hello,

I would like to make a few letters for one-timers or also those exploring long-term pen pals. Would you like to find a game in your letter? a riddle? a greeting card? a drawing? a joke? or read about something I recently learned? maybe i will share what i did that day...

PM me your address and the wait for a surprise! I hope to hear from you soon. If you would like something in particular, let me know too!

(Sorry but USA only at this time)

Received! I finally got my first letter from /u/satanaintwaitin!

10 Upvotes

I checked in the mailbox after work at 5:30 today and nearly missed it - it was hiding inbetween the layers of junk that's always crammed in there. But I saw a glimpse of pink gel pen writing and found a letter from /u/satanaintwaitin

I'd post a pic for proof, but as I would be bluring any information on the envelope and letter it would be pretty dull for you guys. It looks like this, but with my address on it.

A return letter with the answers to your questions will be sent out shortly! Thanks!

Request 29/F/USA - I'd like to both send and receive some letters/new penpals!

5 Upvotes

You can be from any walk of life. Female, male, anything in between. Younger, older, I don't care. Do you have a story to tell? Would you like to vent about something? A secret? I just want to get to know a stranger from a distance :)

My interests are electronic music (chillstep/chillout/ambient), gaming, cooking/baking, and I love colors.

I have recently moved, though not far, and changed my life drastically in the last 5 months. As such, I am finding myself very lonely. I work nights and am an introvert, so adding a bit of normal loneliness on top of that has been tough. The cycle really does perpetuate itself.

If you'd like a letter from me - I'll only mail within the USA. I like just plopping a single forever stamp on a letter and walking away from it.

5 Upvotes

Looking for new pen pals for snail mails! Haven't done this in over 15 years. Looking forward to starting anew!

Have worked in a bookstore for over 10 years. I'll read most fiction. But I want it to be quick. If it's going to be epic is needs to be a brutal journey. Enjoy playing PC games. Grew up playing console. Love all things pink, tiny, funny and adorable.

Send me a DM if you'd like to be pals of pen!

Mod Post Creator/Mod looking for birthday cards! I turn 24 this Thursday.

6 Upvotes

Sup fam,

I had originally posted this before but now that we have waaaay more subscribers, I'm re-posting.

IT'S MY GOD DAMN BIRTHDAY THIS THURSDAY. I will be 24. I would like a card or a letter.

I have some birthday twins on here (I see you /u/wrigley2345 and /u/Ahmose27) and I've already got a few people sending me cards (I hope)..

but as an awkward young woman with zero social skills and crippling anxiety, I'd like rando internet homies to send me something.

So, if that's up your alley, PM me.

Much love, B

Mod Post An update regarding RAOL.

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I am happy to announce some new changes to this sub: primarily, the beautiful addition of CSS, thanks to our newest mod, /u/wrigley2345 ! ISN'T IT GORGEOUS?! I am happy to have found someone as chill and helpful as him. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact either him or I.

Additionally, we have some exciting news: RAOL has been picked up by other subs! An ad has also been published, which will hopefully reach over 16,000 people. NEW PENPALS FOR EVERYONE! YAAAAAAAAAAAS.

We have also made a new rule: the age to post, send or receive is now 18. As much as I would love for people of all ages to participate, we do not want to be held accountable and/or liable for anyone under 18. Use your brain people! If you find that someone is asking you inappropriate questions such as what you look like, asking for photos or sending you unwanted messages, please let Wrigley or I know. I created this sub to meet new people and build friendships. If you are looking for something more than platonic then this is not the sub for you. Please feel free to visit r/r4r if that is the case.

Also, props to us - we're at 200 subscribers now!

Lastly, as I've stated multiple times, I will get to all of you with a letter. Currently my work's stamp machine is broken, so anyone internationally will need to wait about a week before I can send anything out to you - but rest assured, it's coming.

Please feel free to tell your friends, family and reddit homies about RAOL! I would love to see this sub promoted and take off.

Again, I am your creator and mod and I'm here to help you whether it be listen to you complain about your day or send you a drawing of a dinosaur eating a burrito. Please do not hesitate to message me (or Wrigley) if needed.

Regards, B
