Don’t You Miss Mail?

In an age where our lives are dominated by digital interactions, there’s something profoundly nostalgic about receiving a piece of physical mail. The anticipation of opening an envelope, the tactile sensation of paper, and the personal touch of handwritten notes all evoke a sense of connection that emails and texts simply can’t match. At Doorstep Monthly, we are dedicated to bringing back that magic and reconnecting people with the simple joys of physical mail.

Our Monthly Curation: Books, Quotes, and Art

Every month, I select a book that has inspired me and carefully curate an envelope filled with quotes that resonated with me the most. These aren’t just random selections; they are words that sparked reflection, joy, and sometimes even a profound shift in perspective. Along with these quotes, you’ll find a small trinket—often a piece of art from a local artist, a unique stamp, and stickers that add a personal touch to your collection.

Our journey this month takes us into the serene and contemplative world of “The End of Loneliness ” by Benedict Wells. In a world that never stops, Wells invites us to consider all our regrets. His words are a gentle reminder that one change in direction lead up to where we are now. Wells truly explores the absurdity in one decision changing your life.

Quotes to Ponder

Here are a few quotes from the book that I found particularly moving:

“The question is, what wouldn’t be different? What would be the immutable part of you? The bit that would stay the same in every life, no matter what course it took.”

What if there’s no such thing as time? If everything we experience is eternal, and it’s not time that passes us by, but we ourselves that pass by the things we experience?

These quotes, along with others, are handwritten on elegant paper and included in this month’s envelope for you to savor and reflect upon.

Why Physical Mail?

There’s something deeply personal about receiving a handwritten letter. It shows that someone has taken the time and effort to think about you. In a world where messages are often ephemeral, physical mail endures. It can be tucked away in a drawer, pinned to a bulletin board, or cherished in a scrapbook.

At Doorstep Monthly, we believe that physical mail is a powerful way to create lasting memories and foster genuine connections. Whether you’re sending a heartfelt note to a friend or receiving one of our curated envelopes, the experience is tangible, memorable, and meaningful.
