Fulfilled [Thank You] RAoC Community 🩷
I just want to say thank you to this community for being so wonderful. I haven't had the opportunity to be as active as I want to be for a couple years now, but I look forward to eventually coming back. (Have y'all seen the new stamps USPS came out with and is still coming out with this year??? AAAHHH!!!)
Anyways, I just wanted to thank you all for being so kind and comforting and COOL. I mean, this community is awesome! I've always done similar RAoC things in my own life growing up (anyone ever read Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli? She was my inspiration.)
When I was in high school, I used to make random punny cards for the holidays to just hand out to my peers and teachers to make people smile. I've always loved to give people tangible, homemade crafts. The fact there's a community here where, it doesn't matter the recipient or their background, just sharing a mutual love of snail mail and handmade writings and arts&crafts, it's just awesome how shared likes can bring people together.
And help in dark times. You were all here for me last year when my mother passed and sent such thoughtful notes, funny jokes, and little fun bits of stationary and stickers that brightened my day. Today is her birthday and I've going through these treasures again, my heart full with the bittersweet feels of her memories and the kindness y'all have shown...
I don't know, I'm rambling, but I just wanted to say thank you so very much and keep being amazing. Love y'all 🩷

That's the second mentor of Stargirl I have seen today! I'm going to have to look it up. Best to you on this special day.
