On Slowly, I found the most unexpected and the world’s best friend. We met through letters. I had been on this app for four years and couldn’t find a single person to talk to. The constant ghosting is a part of this platform, but on this platform, you find the person who thinks deeply and feels deeply. In instant messages, we lose the essence of talking deeply or thinking deeply on a topic, but here, you talk deeply and understand each other deeply.
I met my best friend here. I call her my peace of mind because she is exactly that to me. Whatever is happening in my life, I can just write to her; it feels so relaxing I can’t explain it. I met her on June 19th. I remember this day because it was the day when the best thing entered both our lives.
We were both struggling with loneliness and wanted someone to talk to and listen to a person with whom we could share anything and everything and we found that. We don’t live that far; it takes our letter three hours to reach the other person, but those three hours feel like three days. We started with three hundred words, but now our letters are four thousand words at minimum. Her letters are always filled with happiness, joy, sadness, and care.
We had given up on finding a good friend in this fast-moving and evolving world, where everyone is in a hurry and changing their circles as they move on. Yes, some people stay with you through your life, but now it’s so rare because everyone is in a hurry. But on this app, everything slows down. We grab our coffee mug and read a letter or write a letter, and after some time, this process just becomes a part of your life a part you can’t live without. It’s just peace on another level.
We connected on the most random and weird thing: the water bottles that we use daily. She has a hobby of collecting glass water bottles, and I can’t even care for my plastic bottle. From that topic, we just went further and exchanged our hobbies, our thoughts, our views, our favorite things, and to our surprise, we had most things in common.
I am a guy who carries the most insecurities, and she is a girl who always has hard time trusting people. I don’t think I could have found a person to share my insecurities with, and she couldn’t have found a better person to trust (those are her words, but one can say they were taken out of context, but I don’t think she will deny this). Now, the only fear I have is of losing her.
This is not just my story; it’s our story, and I want her to be mentioned here. Her Slowly ID is RestingSoul. Resting Soul, you are the best gift, and you are my miracle. I know this annoys you, but thank you for being in my life.
Stay safe and have fun.

P.S. Red ugly bottle is mine
