What would you like to send/receive? Long letters, handmade envelopes, mix CDs, stationary, post cards and art. 
Who would you like to send and receive mail from? Anyone. But definitely snail mail rather than e-mail. 
What countries would you like to receive mail from and send to? I’d love to write to people in different countries, but the US is fine as well.
Anything else you'd like to add? I recently graduated from college with a BA in art therapy, with a minor in women's studies. I went to college in Massachusetts, and I'm now living at home again while I decide where I would like to go to graduate school. I appear quiet and shy if you don't know me, but I'm really not.  I'm introverted, observant and logical. I love curiosity. I often enjoy solitude. I've been through a lot with my family, and am very independent. Sometimes I might take a while to write back, but I’ll never forget. I feel most drawn to other outsiders and artists. 
Nothing is as exciting as mail love. I adore the feeling I have when I get a personalized envelope in the mail. It makes me feel connected.
