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

In "Slowly" I found a good friend! Always support me, understand me, care about me, and accompany me in any situation.

I always had them when I felt down and when I felt happy, and I too was with them, all of us following each others' journey.

A. didn’t run away, and their eyes finally met for the first time. It was different from what they had expected, and it was better...

Isn’t it amusing how close of a relationship you can develop just over words?

Als journalist hou ik ervan om meer te leren over mensen en hoe zij het leven ervaren. Slowly heeft me echter in staat gesteld om verder te gaan dan ik had verwacht.

Deep down, I think everyone longs to find out what's beyond the confines of their own culture—the huge world at large.

The act of correspondence where you share a bit about yourself can make you feel a smidge vulnerable at first, but if you give it some time, it will pay off.

It all started with "Saudações cara compatriota!" ("Greetings my fellow compatriot!") and in total, we ended up exchanging 103 letters.

Ik ben niet langer bang om door mensen afgewezen te worden, omdat ik weet dat er altijd iemand zal zijn die mij zal accepteren zoals ik ben, hoe erg mijn gebreken en onvolkomenheden ook zijn.

By simply letting our personalities flow through our letters, we were able to convey to others who we are despite the distance.

I’m truly happy that we got to know each other through that app, and that both of us can find support in each other.
