One can most definitely make real and meaningful connections despite the distance or having a different cultural background.

I was brimming with excitement for the fact that I was talking to someone from another side of the WORLD!

私にとっては、この独特なアイデアを持ったアプリをダウンロードしたという小さな行動が、私の人生を完全に、しかも素晴らしい形で変えました...

彼女は私に中国の文化や伝統について教えてくれました。私は、いつの日か彼女に会えるチャンスがあって...

It seems that it helped me get better. What is sure is that I've fought back my fears.

The feeling of excitement that rushes through my body when I see I'm gonna receive a letter is so bizarre.

言葉だけでこんなに親密な関係を築けるなんて面白くありませんか？

I'm no longer afraid of being rejected by people because I know there will always be someone who will accept me for who I am, no matter how bad my flaws and imperfections might be.

For the majority of my life, I felt isolated. I felt estranged from my peers at school and I even felt estranged from my family.
