"You may never know if the person you are writing to will write you back."

Rachel Syme, a New Yorkerstaff writer, learned that during the early days of the pandemic. Longing for human connection, she asked her followers on social media if anyone wanted to be her pen pal.
"I got 300 responses," she says. She couldn't possibly write to everyone, so she created a letter-exchanging program called PenPaloozato "connect all these people to one another." It now has more than 10,000 members.
Those efforts kickstarted a letter-writing routine that Syme says continues to bring her great joy. "I'm constantly being surprised by what shows up in my mailbox. Creative expressions, intimacies, honesty and beautiful writing."
