Slowly Stories
Penpalships You Can Only Find on Slowly
For the majority of my life, I felt isolated. I felt estranged from my peers at school and I even felt estranged from my family.
They listen to me vent, they reassure me and I know that eventually everything will be okay.
When my father was diagnosed with terminal cancer two years ago, it was my Slowly family who helped me through.
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.
Maybe not all people are interested in this topic. But compared with the instant chats, writing here is more healing for my soul. I feel accepted in the decent way of talking.
Slowly is the best place for shy and talkative people for building friendships. Slowly also allows me to learn other foreign languages...
In my childhood, I remember I read a book where that guy used to have a pen friend, whom he never met in his lifetime.
忘了什麼時候我開始厭倦了社交媒體。厭倦了自己日日需要捧著手機。厭倦了自己失去回復消息的動力。直到我接觸了 「Slowly」 後我總感覺無趣的生活開始有所變化。
Because of the restrictions and the DONTs my parents have set for me, I grew up to always desire friendship and love from others.
I had not, up to that point, received such a unique piece of correspondence, and it sure made its mark on my personal experience.
My story through Slowly isn't a love story, at least not in a conventional way. It's more of a story about self-discovery.
