Slowly Story

🇺🇸 United States

They listen to me vent, they reassure me and I know that eventually everything will be okay.

🇪🇸 Spain

It’s been already two years since I met him. We have shared so much during this time, and yet I still know there is still much more left to say.

🇵🇭 Philippines

To be in constant frustration, isolated and too much of my dismay, I am all alone.

🇦🇺 Australia / 🇨🇳 China

As an Australian living in China, there are periods of time where loneliness and isolation can overwhelm you.

🇬🇧 United Kingdom

You do not have to be worried about being judged or misinterpreted at all. Everyone is so welcoming and accepting.

🇦🇷 Argentina

Slowly gave me hope, captured in a letter.

🇮🇳 India

He told me if you're afraid to say things to your family, you should probably be fine to talk about it to a stranger.

He’s halfway across the world and I feel closer to him than most people.

🇨🇱 Chile

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

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?

I can be heard by whole the world. We all can be heard and listen to each other.

🇳🇱 Netherlands

I do really feel like I am in touch again with the world, thanks to all the great conversations I'm having now with such sweet people.
