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

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

I'm no longer afraid of being rejected by people because I know there will always be someone who will accept me for who I am, no matter how bad my flaws and imperfections might be.

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.

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.

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.

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!

In my childhood, I remember I read a book where that guy used to have a pen friend, whom he never met in his lifetime.
