I wrote you a love letter
Love, in its purest form, is made up of fragments—tiny, fleeting moments that sometimes go unnoticed but leave a lasting impression. A glance, a gesture, a feeling; these fragments can be the most profound pieces of a connection. Though they often slip through our fingers as soon as they appear, there’s something magical about the way we try to capture these moments before they fade. In this attempt, love letters are born.
A love letter is more than just a series of words written on paper. It’s an effort to preserve the essence of those fleeting moments—the rush of emotion, the quiet comfort, the shared understanding that cannot be easily expressed in a text message or a passing conversation. When you write a love letter, you're not just sending a message, you're holding onto something. You’re trying to freeze an instant, to make something eternal out of what is, in reality, temporary.
We often think of love letters as purely romantic but love doesn’t fit into neat boxes. A letter can be for a partner, a friend, a family member, or even yourself. It’s an expression of gratitude, admiration, and connection.
In a world of instant messages and fleeting words, love letters invite us to slow down. They don’t have to be grand or poetic, just intentional. A few words can hold the weight of a lifetime of feelings. Writing a love letter says, “You matter enough for me to stop, to think, and to share this with you.” And in that sharing, something special happens. Love letters bridge distances, capture emotions, and make the intangible feel tangible in a way that everyday communication often doesn’t.
This is why I created I Wrote You a Love Letter💌—to gather these fragments of love. It’s not just one letter, it’s a collection displaying a mosaic of human connection—love letters for the internet. Each submission, whether short or long, simple or elaborate, is a piece of something much larger. It’s a representation of the quiet moments we sometimes forget to hold onto, a reminder that love is made up of many pieces, small and large, and it is in these fragments that we find something lasting.
Through this project, I hope to show that love isn’t defined by grand gestures but by the small, everyday moments that shape our connections. Each letter holds a story—one of affection, gratitude, or remembrance—capturing love in its purest form. However it’s expressed, love is always worth holding onto.
If you feel inspired, I invite you to write your own love letter. Not to impress, not to win someone’s heart, but to capture a moment—whether to a lover, a friend, a family member, or yourself. Because love is not just about the big declarations. It’s about the small moments we make permanent with our words.
