Sometimes, the best advice comes from a stranger.

And to finish this letter, I propose a heartfelt toast to the health of the entire Slowly Community!!!!

We grew up in a digital world so to speak. But I always feel like I was born in the wrong era!

Instead of just writing as a story, we made it look like an interview in a reality show. Hope you like it!

Unforeseen encounter in the midst of a global pandemic: A story on how I met my best friend twice.

We talked as easily in real life as we did in the app, wandered around the mall and ate dessert at Dippin’ Dots...

He lives just 10 minutes from my apartment! Can you believe it?! I have never meet him...

It left me feeling so uninspired to reach out to anyone else, until – Just when I least expected it, I had an incoming letter from Iran.

We exchanged a few handwritten letters (until mine was lost in the mail), met a few times to work together in a café or walk along the Seine.

Slowly gave me hope, captured in a letter.

I am feeling emotions I haven't experienced in a long time. We share things we love and try to appreciate the things we don't.

Earth can be a scary, chaotic place, but it feels more like home when you know there are people thousands of miles away who are willing to face the challenges here with you.
