Letter to a Friend Part 1: "A New Beginning" | ASMR

First episode in a new periodic series where you get a first person look at someone writing (or to be exact: printing) a letter to their friend back home. Who's writing the letter? And who is this friend? Could it be you?...

Side note: I will fix the angle at which I hold the pen in future episodes so that you can see more of it as it write, and less of my hand. For now, I hope it isn't too bothersome.

And FYI: The "Rift World" website is still planned where folks will get to contribute their own stories to the universe. It is just slow going as it is in the preconception stages. We'll get there!

What is ASMR?

ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. It's a non-scientific word that an everyday person came up with to describe the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps but much more pleasant and without the uncomfortable chills.

ASMR videos are meant to intentionally induce this sensation in the viewer, often referred to as "tingles", but the videos also serve to provide a relaxing, calming and soothing experience for the viewer. Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.
