I was astounded just to read about life in a different country or even continent! So many different customs, so many different ways of thinking...

She helped me learn about Chinese culture and traditions. I told her that hopefully one day I'll get the chance to meet her...

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.

I am convinced that letters can have a very special magic for people.

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

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

Unlike my brief message, M wrote a long piece of letter, telling me about everything about her hometown, feeling curious about the island I’m from...

Just try your best to search for your "light" in the darkness. It will be worth it to fight for it- trust me!

You could say Slowly led me down a rabbit hole, which ended in an emotional Rollercoaster xD
