Helping you find
connection in a hurried world
I write letters for those who miss slower conversations.
Find clarity and confidence through written connection
because some things are best said slowly
Letters with Rita is a quiet place for thoughtful connection in a hurried world.
Here, we slow down long enough to write what we mean, listen without interruption, and remember that words still matter when they’re given time and care.
This is not about perfection or productivity.
It’s about presence — showing up honestly, one letter at a time.
Whether you’re reading along, writing back, or becoming a pen pal, you’re invited just as you are.

The Pen Pal Post
Handwritten letters offer a kind of connection that modern communication often forgets. As a pen pal, you’ll exchange real letters through the mail—thoughtful notes written at a gentle pace, without pressure or expectation. This space is for reflection, encouragement, shared stories, and the simple joy of receiving something meant just for you. No deadlines, no perfection—only sincerity.
Becoming a pen pal means choosing to slow down and engage more intentionally. You’ll write and receive letters in a way that fits real life, allowing conversations to unfold naturally over time. Some letters may be brief, others more detailed, but all are rooted in care and presence. This is a personal exchange, centered on connection, with the possibility of broader matching opportunities in the future.

Connection doesn’t always happen in real time.
Sometimes it unfolds slowly—through handwritten letters, shared postcards, and words chosen with care.
Letters with Rita is built around these quieter practices. I spend my time writing, exchanging letters, and participating in communities that value presence over performance and intention over urgency.
These are the spaces where conversation deepens, stories take shape, and connection is allowed to grow at its own pace.
