She helped me learn about Chinese culture and traditions. I told her that hopefully one day I'll get the chance to meet her...

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.

Deep down, I think everyone longs to find out what's beyond the confines of their own culture—the huge world at large.

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.

Nothing is off the limits with Slowly. There is a plethora of topics I can discuss here without people judging me.

I will only tell people who are reading this story to never stop sending letters, you never know who is missing you.

Unlike my brief message, M wrote a long piece of letter, telling me about everything about her hometown, feeling curious about the island I’m from...

Just try your best to search for your "light" in the darkness. It will be worth it to fight for it- trust me!

When I want to learn more about a country, I simply send letters to people from there and ask anything I can think of.

You could say Slowly led me down a rabbit hole, which ended in an emotional Rollercoaster xD
