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

Slowly showed me that you don't have to leave home to know the world, and people.

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

I took off my mask and for the first time I ever tried to be honest.

*Slowly: Eine Fülle von Glück*

She is 7 years-old younger than me, we started to connect through Slowly sharing our habits & thoughts ‘in almost 100%’ in common.

Ich betete jeden Tag, dass ich einen Engel in meinem Leben empfangen würde, und obwohl mein Engel nicht körperlich erschienen ist, um mich zu begrüßen, kam er durch einen Brief.

Slowly is like a gift, it makes you see things 'Slowly' as the app itself is named, and it makes you appreciate every letter, every word...

She actually listened to what I had to say and think in times when real world colleagues and friends didn’t find the the time or care too...

And right now, she's out there, living her life. It was honestly one of the greatest things I've ever experienced in my life...

I came out to her as transgender and she is the only person who really sees me for who I am as a person, she doesn't see my body, she sees me...

Heute schickt er mir schöne Gedichte, ich schicke ihm Zeichnungen und wir bauen unsere Freundschaft mit schönen Absätzen und Buntstiften auf.
