Of course, sociophobia didn't go anywhere, but it became easier to live with it.

I have fallen for her letters before even knowing her real name, or before seeing her face, a picture, through her letters I had seen what matters: her soul.

Just as I made sending letters through Slowly a fundamental part of my routine, I also learned to listen to my penpals.

He came to my city and we met and spent one of the best weeks in my life. He became one of my best friends.

It is wonderful to make friends from a completely different part of the World and to see their country through their eyes.

Now I also have a big new dream to buy a ticket to South Korea and fly to Seoul to meet my awesome soulmate!

Each letter were songs, stories, interesting questions and interesting nicknames developed into a beautiful friendship.

But here, I can get a new friend everyday.

He is 60 years older than me, and yet we can still find things to agree upon and share.

I didn't expect that anyone will ever talk to me like my first pen pal wrote me.

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!

You can think that we're talking around 2~3 years of friendship. Okay, it's only a month and ~100 letters exchanged...
