To the Editor,

My name is Daniel Arias. As a 13-year-old boy, I find it fascinating that stamp collecting used to be such a popular hobby. It's amazing to think that people would send letters and postcards to each other just to collect the stamps that came with them. I think it's cool that some stamps are more valuable than others based on their design and historical significance.

However, I think it's important for people to balance indoor and outdoor activities, and not just spend all their time watching TV. While it's great to bond over shared interests like TV shows, movies, and video games, it's also important to get outside and engage in physical activities like sports, hiking, and exploring nature. This can help promote physical health and mental well-being, as well as provide opportunities to learn and grow.

Overall, I think that hobbies like stamp collecting and watching TV can be fun and enjoyable, but it's important to find a balance and not let them consume all of our time and energy. It's important to engage in a variety of activities and hobbies that challenge us, inspire us, and help us connect with others and the world around us.
