For the majority of my life, I felt isolated. I felt estranged from my peers at school and I even felt estranged from my family.

My friends and teachers call me an alien, because I like to do some crazy and weird things in school.

They listen to me vent, they reassure me and I know that eventually everything will be okay.

When my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer two years ago, it was my Slowly family who helped me through.

The best thing she ever told me is that she is looking forward to the day when we could exchange a letter in Korean :)

Когда я снова начал взаимодействовать с людьми, я заметил, что стал лучше вести разговоры и глубже связываться с людьми.

Maybe not all people are interested in this topic. But compared with the instant chats, writing here is more healing for my soul. I feel accepted in the decent way of talking.

Раньше я была девушкой-интровертом, у которой было не так много друзей. Тем не менее, после того, как я присоединилась к Slowly, я стала испытывать ту радость, которая ранее была мне недоступна!

Из-за ограничений и запретов, которые мои родители установили для меня, я вырос с желанием всегда желать дружбы и любви со стороны других.

The first letter I’d ever sent was the very first letter she had ever read. Coincidental?

I had not, up to that point, received such a unique piece of correspondence, and it sure made its mark on my personal experience.

My story through Slowly isn't a love story, at least not in a conventional way. It's more of a story about self-discovery.
