Dear Human
A thoughtful letter in your postbox. Every month.
Dear Human is a monthly snail mail subscription.Each letter has two pages: one is a reflective piece on something worth thinking about. Sometimes philosophical, sometimes pulled from the world around us, always written with care. The other is mostly blank, with a single question at the top. That page is yours. To write on, to sit with, to return to.

Manifesto
When was the last time you received something meaningful on the post?Not bills or flyers from the pizza place in your neighborhood.A picturesque postcard from a friend on holiday on the other side of the world. A handwritten letter from a cousin who lives overseas. A handcrafted piece of art from your favourite artisan.It’s probably been months, if not years.But over the past 6 months, how many newsletters crowded your inbox? Out of those, how many have you read? And, more importantly, how many have actually improved your life, made you a little happier, or prompted you into reflective mode?Our lives are digital.But humans are still inherently analogue.We crave authentic conversations with people who get us. A sense of community, of belonging to something in a too-fast, too-vast world that keeps spinning us on its wheels.We need the space to reflect on what happened to us last week, or what happens in the world every day. Things that are hard to make sense of. That make us feel isolated, anxious and exhausted.We need answers to questions that bug us like an annoying little devil in our ears: Where are we headed as a collective? What can we do as individuals?We’re more connected than ever, yet there’s a loneliness epidemic.We have more information than ever, yet we don’t have the space to process it.We’re surrounded by more technology than ever, yet we’re losing ourselves in it.This project is an intentional pull in the opposite direction.To reconnect, to pay attention, to make space, to go deep, to be part of something.To be human again.Each month, you’ll receive a letter in your post box. It contains two pages: one is a reflective letter on a topic. Sometimes philosophical, sometimes current, always human. The other is a mostly blank page with a question at the top. That’s your space to reconnect to your thoughts and emotions.I miss intentional connection with others.If you do too, this might be exactly what you need to rekindle that spark inside you.See you next month?
