A summer encounter

So, after a week of sending letters in Slowly, he asked me to meet up...

Někteří lidé mi píšou, aby se naučili francouzsky a já je moc rád učím!

I didn't expect that anyone will ever talk to me like my first pen pal wrote me.

kdy jsem se probouzela už v 5 hodin ráno, abych odpověděla na jeho dopis, abychom mohli využít každou hodinu dne a abychom stihli poslat dva dopisy během 24 hodin!

I related so much since I just had a "what if" moment then and was feeling rather melancholic.

Ale taky mi pomohli porozumět mé vlastní kulturní identitě – mém směru přemýšlení, mém směru života.

Later on, I met three penpals who became very important in my life.

I was anxious and nervous in the beginning, but now I am willing to trust this friendship with all of my heart.

This girl two thousand kilometers away, who just wrote to me, a total stranger, here on Slowly, became such a big part of my everyday life.

In Russia it is so hard to find someone, who could understand you and you would talk freely, without any fears!

I want to share some glimpses of my new found friendship, thanks to this wonderful app.
