Letter to a Japanese Friend, Winter Solstice

As a teenager who has grown up in an age defined by technology and social media, I did not think I would like having to wait days for a single response.

Remembering a song by, maybe, the biggest singer from Argentina, José Larralde, he said: "I’ve been through all the world, in the same place..."

I was so happy that I went around the house saying "I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM JAPAN"

Our letters are long, drawn out paragraphs, about everything...

최근 나는 또한 한국으로 가는 티켓을 사고 멋진 소울메이트를 만나기 위해 서울로 비행기를 타고 가는 큰 새로운 꿈을 꾸었습니다!

With no pretense, I suddenly found special people who cheer up my heart and make smile and laugh many times.

It's like finding Atlantis! I found a lot of nice people who share the same interests as I am.

That particular notification made him happy like nothing else in his gloomy days, even if it meant 19 painfully sweet hours of waiting.

He is 60 years older than me, and yet we can still find things to agree upon and share.

Our friendship will be more than a year soon. And every single day I keep going to have new friends!
