He’s halfway across the world and I feel closer to him than most people.

Why would I want to do that, when I have instant messaging? When there are much faster, quicker ways to contact people than wait hours?

My life is no longer a monotone & is actually a true Opera house...

I am proud to say that my Mandarin has definitely improved, and I have been able to talk with teenagers from Senegal to Switzerland and Hong Kong.

And since that, we never contacted each other because he doesn't want to give me a false hope.

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

She took a plane and drove 200km by car to see... me? Just... me?

When I listened to her sweet, soft voice speaking lovely Persian words to me from across the world, it melted my heart.

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

They listened to me and helped me and comforting me when i was sad.

It is difficult to keep a long-term pen pal relationship, that’s why I am very lucky.

Just like many other female citizen of third world country, I was treated like convicting any shameful act.
