Penpalships You Can Only Find on Slowly
Slowly showed me that you don't have to leave home to know the world, and people.
These days we were unable to stop exchanging letters, I learned a lot about where he lives, his culture and his people even from the smallest thing.
We both decided to share our unabridged stories from the first moments we met on the app. I told my story from my point of view and Danny from his.
We have what we were both looking for: an honest friendship, full of care, laughter and attention...
I even woke up as early as 5am in the morning, to reply his letter, so that we could utilize every hour of the day, and make 2 cycles within the 24 hours!
I related so much since I just had a "what if" moment then and was feeling rather melancholic.
Safety first because this is going to be the one reason why you download Slowly.
I have made two best friends that I will never forget nor lose contact with.
They have helped me to understand about my own cultural identity โ my way of thinking, my way of life. I am a third-generation Nikkei from Sรฃo Paulo.
Later on, I met three penpals who became very important in my life.
I was anxious and nervous in the beginning, but now I am willing to trust this friendship with all of my heart.
This girl two thousand kilometers away, who just wrote to me, a total stranger, here on Slowly, became such a big part of my everyday life.
