Letters from Days Past
Letters used to arrive without announcements. You opened the envelope. You sat down. You read the whole thing.
Letters from Days Past brings that experience back.
Each month, subscribers receive a printed letter by mail. The writing is reflective and grounded, focused on memory, time, and the quieter parts of everyday life that often go unnoticed. These are not newsletters, prompts, or instructions. They are letters written to be read once, then returned to later.
The letters are written with awareness of life experience. Someone who remembers handwritten phone books will recognize certain moments. Someone who grew up in a more digital world will recognize the feeling even if the details are different. The writing meets the reader where they are without labeling or assuming.
This subscription is especially meaningful for people who spend a great deal of time at home, who are separated from regular correspondence, or who appreciate receiving something personal through the mail. Many subscribers choose to send it to someone who is incarcerated, recovering, living alone, or simply in need of something steady and familiar to look forward to each month.
Each letter arrives in its own envelope, printed on quality paper. There is nothing to complete, return, or respond to. The value is in receiving it, holding it, and reading it at one’s own pace.
This is a quiet subscription. It does not try to motivate or fix anything. It exists to restore the experience of receiving words meant to be kept.
Dear Days Past. Where everyday life slows down.
