Just as I made sending letters through Slowly a fundamental part of my routine, I also learned to listen to my penpals.

An ear is what we all truly want and SLOWLY has provided such a great platform.

While we often feel annoyed or anxious when people take forever to reply to our texts, on Slowly, taking forever is the point.

Why would I want to do that, when I have instant messaging? When there are much faster, quicker ways to contact people than wait hours?

My life is no longer a monotone & is actually a true Opera house...

Through this app, I've typed an unprecedented amount of words to convey feelings I've never been able to express before...

I received a letter, from Syria, not knowing then how much it would change my life the following year.

I sought a listener, found a friend and then lost her...

Wegen ihnen ist es mein Ziel, Menschen zu helfen. Mein Traum ist wahr geworden. Ich lasse mich von ihnen inspirieren, so wie sie sich von mir inspirieren lassen.

Letter to a Japanese Friend, Winter Solstice

Today is the first day we meet and my heart is literally flying.

Wir alle können gehört werden und uns gegenseitig zuhören.
