I think what i'm after is someone to write to about my life, my theories and my hopes. I love science and am pursuing a phd in neuroscience. I'd love to learn about someone, know what their family and life is like and for them to know me. Whether it be through snail mail, email etc.

I'd love to be able to complain to someone one; encourage someone; be present in there life.

As for me, I love to travel though school doesn't allow much of it. I have two cats and a dog and i love going on hikes with the pup. I have a small pottery setup in my kitchen. I love to make ceramics for those i love. In the summer I garden, swim, and bike. In the winter I ski though i've only just learned.

I am a reader and love to read all sorts of books. I am reading Why Brains Need Friends as well as the third book in Mistborn. My favorite books are those about science or philosophy. I love Emerson and Thoreau and their essays. Sapolsky is my go to biologist. I love the book The Master and His Emissary by Ian McGilchrist.

I also love movies of all varieties. I'm curious about what interests you though. What makes life interesting? How does your curiosity influence your decisions?

How Does This Process Work?

> Note: Confirmations may take a few minutes as the bot processes the confirmation.

After exchanging emails or letters, confirm that the user sent them by tagging their name, and then in the format of #-#, where the first number is email count and the second the letter count, post the number of emails and letters you received.

Example:

1. u/digitalmayhap received 2 emails and 1 snail mail letter from u/thisisverytricky

2. u/digitalmayhap posts a comment in the confirmation thread saying u/thisisverytricky 2-1

3. u/penpal-confirmation replies to u/digitalmayhaps's comment indicating that their counts have been updated on their flair!

FAQ

1. The bot didn't respond to my comment. What's wrong?

> Did you follow the correct pattern? Follow the pattern above!

> Give it a few minutes! Sometimes the Reddit APIs can get a little overworked and start having issues. If the issue persists for more than a few hours, please message the moderators. The bot might be experiencing issues!

2. I have multiple letters/emails I exchanged with multiple people to confirm this month; should I post them separately or in a single post?

> Feel free to post them in a single comment or as multiple comments! If you post them all in a single comment, make sure to put each redditor on a separate line and to follow the proper format of u/REDDIT #-#.

3. I forgot to confirm an exchange last month! Can I confirm the exchange this month?

> Yes!

Hello! I am looking for a Penpal that is low pressure. Maybe monthly letters as we get to know each other and then more from there :)

I am almost 30, living in upstate New York and work as a social worker in emergency psychiatry! I have many interests and have been known to lean heavily into many hobbies and abandon them for periods of time 😅. I love cooking, hiking, playing cozy games, traveling, camping, collecting things, the moon, and sitting in coffee shops people watching! I am hoping to find someone with similar interests, but also who wants to share their mundane life and stories with. You found a cool rock? Cool, draw it for me! The leaves were really pretty today? What colors?? Just looking to get pen to paper and connect with others :) preferably someone who identifies as female or nonbinary!

I inherited a box of postcards, some of them up to 100 years old. They were stored alongside moving boxes full of old correspondence from all over the world.

Rather than letting them continue to gather dust, I’d like to finally let them fulfill their original purpose.

Independently of that, I’ve been wanting for quite some time to gain new insights into other cultures and people’s everyday lives through written correspondence. I’d love to find someone somewhere in the world who would be interested in occasionally exchanging messages and gaining new perspectives along the way.

A little about me: I’m 28 years old and from Germany. I’m interested in history, literature, art, and philosophy, but also in economics, the natural sciences, and practical things. Just pick something – not because I claim to be an expert in any of these subjects, but because I find the underlying structures themselves interesting.
The same applies to everyday life. Especially across different cultures, something that seems completely ordinary and self-evident to one person can be fascinatingly unfamiliar to someone else.
There is something new to learn and experience every day, and I’d be curious to hear your perspective on it.

What made me think more about this was a conversation I had with someone about history. We were discussing the same global event. The facts were the same on a broader level, but what each of us focused on and what each of us knew about it in the first place differed considerably.
It is so natural to view the world from our own standpoint that it can be easy to forget that this may only be our own small section of a personal “observable universe.”

That’s why I’d be interested in hearing your views on history and politics, as well as your experiences of everyday life. Even a proverb can reveal an incredible amount about a culture, or about the way its language organizes thought.

If this little digression hasn’t scared you off, and you also enjoy talking about things that serve no particular purpose in everyday life beyond a bit of entertainment, feel free to get in touch for an occasional exchange.

Just send me a short message telling me about your interests and what you’d like to talk about.

Hi, I'm 22 from LatinAmerica, Chile. I'm looking to share with someone who would like to become long-term emailing friends.

I'm looking to send long emails talking about the current day, current interests, maybe like books or movies, etc. I'm not a very social person, so I would like to get to know different people and their opinions on things and share in general!

I'm really into shoujo and josei manga and the philosophical view of the everyday life. I'm currently reading Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse and No One Writes Back by Jang Eun-jin; I also started reading Hidamari Sketch the other night and I am considering and taking back on Papa Told Me by Nanae Haruno, which I read until volume 5 :'-)

I'm also very interested in art and journaling, I'm taking an interest on logging the everyday life but I haven't got to that yet. I own 2 dogs and 2 cats whom I love dearly and I hope for the future to always get better.

My main language is Spanish, so if anyone is interested in sharing different languages mails I would gladly do that too! I'm interested in learning German, French, Portuguese and Japanese, and of course, improve my English writing skills!

I'm Queer, so I would prefer someone in the LGBTQ+ community as well, I think maybe that way we could understand a little bit more about each other, and around my age 18-30 would be awesome!

I plan on sending mails once or twice a week, but I don't really mind long waiting, just to get a response back eventually ^^

I want to learn about the everyday life and deep thoughts of people around the world :-) If you're interested in starting an email friendship please send me a DM with something about yourself!

This will be a temporary thing but if you want to keep exchanging that's fine :) write when you have time and I'll do the same. Would prefer someone else within the US as I do enough exchanges internationally already. This will be platonic I do not want to be someone's problem with their SO... Female preferred but male is ok as well.

Been a rough week and instead of putting it out there on reddit I'd rather write about it! You can do the same as well.

Depression/anxiety

First time mom

Identical twin

post-crossing

2 cats

Married

First time doing this but feeling excited. Looking for snail mail a few times a month :)

About me: I'm currently struggling with some depression and would love to connect with someone else who can understand that/going through similar things.

I currently a server at a vegetarian restaurant, I have a cat :), love hiking and camping, also love movie nights and gaming. I'm a big horror movie fan. Would be open to exchanging Nintendo switch codes if we wanted to ever play together too!

I've been vegan for 10 years and it's important to me. You don't need to be vegan though! I have a deep love and connection with animals of all kinds and my long term goal is to go back to school for a master's in wildlife biology:)

Oo I'm also polyamorous! Again, I don't need you to be any of these things but just an openness and maybe curiosity would be cool! Platonic connection only please!!!

Also really into ceramics right now!

Let's connect:D

Hi. I've been struggling with isolation/lonliness and a handful of other issues, like some physical health issues, and as a result of everything I'm not feeling too great currently :(

If I could find some meaningful connections with others, I think it'd help me feel better. I've been interested in a lot of different things, and here are two projects I have:

I'm working on revising and resubmitting a philosophy paper on the root cause of humanity's pursuit of Al, which provides an evolutionary perspective on the philosophy of Jacques Ellul, who wrote a lot about the technological phenomenon. I'm definitely very concerned about Al safety and the main part of the article is aimed at addressing how we arrived here.

In the future also hope to finish an evolutionary hypothesis paper suggesting a structural source for the difficulty of a major evolutionary transition, since it's an idea in astrobiology that some evolutionary transitions may be very difficult, and that it may play a role in both their timing and the Fermi paradox.

Feel free to message me if you're interested in chatting/emailing. I'd prefer those around my age. I'm in the US.

Hello SubReddit!

I am looking to connect with 5 pen pals from Reddit. I want to become more mindful and present that social media does not allow for that time. Man or woman, I can connect to either. I would like someone to connect that is out of the state of Wisconsin or international. I just want to meet new people and form friendships and learn about new places.

Like I said, I am 30 years old and live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I teach full time. This year I am trying to be more crafty and more world-aware. I like watching reality tv shows (90 Day Fiance, Sister Wives and other trash). I love listening to music. Starbucks is my go-to, Chai over coffee any day. Let me know if you are interested.

DMs are open.
