"Slowly, outro aplicativo estranho que acha que encontrou a solução para as mídias sociais" pensei quando vi o Slowly na play store.

Watching your pen pal come to life, and materialize into the friend you’ve learned so much about, is the most sentimental and surreal feeling ever.

As a journalist, I love getting to know more about people and how they experience life. Slowly, however, allowed me to go beyond what I expected.

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.

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

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

When I started interacting with people again, I noticed that I was able to have better conversations, and connect to people on a deeper level.

On my birthday this year, she wrote me one adorable letter and made me two beautiful music playlists which i listen to literally daily.

For the first time I didn't feel alone, even though I was alone at home.

Thanks to the amazing people I’ve met here, I’ve curated a Spotify playlist with songs from over 100 different countries.

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.
