Slowly became that channel we needed to unfurl our deepest thoughts and emotions. And it worked like a charm for us.

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

As I spent more time on this app, I slowly – pun intended – learnt to appreciate the letters we exchanged with all those people who I lost connection with.

Finding warm and nice penpals might be a bit challenging for every one writes in their own unique way.

Op mijn verjaardag dit jaar, schreef ze me zo'n lieve brief en maakte voor mij twee prachtige muzikale playlists waar ik letterlijk iedere dag naar luister.

Writing with full attention is almost forgotten, in a world of instant messaging...

Nothing is off the limits with Slowly. There is a plethora of topics I can discuss here without people judging me.

Writing digital letters is definitely easier for a busy working adult like me.

Writing all these letters have helped me get through some really hard time.

Everyone is much older than me, but the lessons and the love that everyone leaves behind for this little girl are really a great happiness.

Surprisingly, had almost nothing in common with me, yet our letters were so long that it took us days to read and write an answer.

I will only tell people who are reading this story to never stop sending letters, you never know who is missing you.
