Letter to a Japanese Friend, Winter Solstice

Jako nastolatka, która dorastała w wieku określonym przez technologię i social media, nie wyobrażałam sobie czekać na odpowiedź cały dzień.

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...

Teraz mam nowe wielkie marzenie - kupić bilet i polecieć do Seulu by poznać moją cudowną bratnią duszę!

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!
