The idea is cathartic release. Things you might say to someone you are no longer able to contact if you could, or things you wish you could say but can't even to people you presently speak with.

Sometimes Anons can relate over lost loves, chances never taken, wounds that just won't scab over. Sometimes they will relate to one another directly, validating each other's experiences and personal reflections---sometimes they will use similarities to their letter recipient they find or perceive in Anons here as a way to plunge into feelings long bottled to try finally purging those feelings (in this case, it is polite to clarify that you are ranting or waxing inspired by the contents of another post, not projecting on to, misidentifying or attacking the poster who stirred your memories/emotions).

There _are_ other, more esoteric ways of utilizing the letter-writing format. And just so, a stubborn few bad actors who excuse their antagonization of posters here as artistic or spiritual exercise...

Aside from those main categories, frequent posters do some chatting in between, since this thread has been around for most of robot9000/robot9001's existence.

Welcome, and feel free to experiment with which methods of letterposting serve ultimate wellbeing, healing and evolution.
