There’s something oddly comforting about sitting down with a warm cuppa, your favourite pen, and a blank sheet of beautiful paper. It’s quiet. Slow. Intentional. In a world that’s always rushing and buzzing, letter writing offers a pocket of peace—a soft little pause that says, “You can breathe here.”

It’s not just nostalgic—it’s a form of self-care. Here’s why letter writing (with cute stationery, of course) might just be the most underrated way to chill out and reconnect with yourself and others.

If you’ve got a pack (or five) of Mildliners and you're wondering how to get the most out of them, here’s your all-in-one guide for using them across different areas of your life.

Junk journaling is a great way to practice mindfulness and find your creative flare.
