Love letters can be deeply personal, intimate and private. Love letters can also be fun and whimsical, philosophical, or a quiet way to capture a shining moment in life, friendship, and connection. The letters shared here fall into the latter categories and are no less meaningful than intimate expressions of romantic, filial, or parental love. They, too, are about understanding ourselves in relationship, about a deep connection to self. All love letters lead to greater connectedness and wellbeing, no matter their subject, style or length.
