Try a Sidequest Letter

Aish's July letter arrived at exactly the right time. It sparked something in me. I've had a DJ set sitting in my room for a year, wanting to learn but never quite starting. Reading about following her own adventure in Svalbard, made me think: what am I waiting for? So I'm finally doing it. I want to learn to mix pop songs (the ones that make everyone sing along) and surprise my friends at our parties. I want to see their faces when they hear a song they love come out of nowhere. Aish's letter reminded me that you don't need the perfect moment nor to achieve what you think you want. You just need to start and enjoy the adventure, because there stands real life! This is my Sidequest now. I'm going down the rabbit hole. Thank you, Aish, for the nudge

It was a genuine delight to receive a good 'old-fashioned' letter through the post, as opposed to bills, hospital appointments or double-glazing flyers. The letter was well-written and engaging; the postcard stirred desires to explore, and the sidequest was easily achievable with a little time and focus. Whilst I bought this for myself, I can tell that it would make a great gift.

Very original and I loved the backstage story, thanks Aish
