On Writing Letters to Famous Strangers

Came across this article unexpectedly.
Love reading it.
Share with me your thoughts, if you read.
Excerptions :
As a teenager, I wrote letters to strangers.
I didn’t write to strangers because they were famous. I didn’t want an autographed eight-by-ten. I wanted to tell them about my life, my day at school. I wanted to drive a wedge between my childhood and the larger world that I hoped I might join one day. I wanted a way out.
We are all in more communication with each other than ever before: email, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc. But when you think about communicating, think about reaching beyond what is familiar. You can reach into the lives of others. You can reach into the heart of the world.
