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.

My friends and teachers call me an alien, because I like to do some crazy and weird things in school.

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 :)

เมื่อฉันเริ่มมีปฏิสัมพันธ์กับผู้คนอีกครั้ง ฉันสังเกตเห็นว่าฉันสามารถมีการสนทนาที่ดีขึ้น และเชื่อมต่อกับผู้คนในระดับที่ลึกซึ้งขึ้น

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...

Because of the restrictions and the DONTs my parents have set for me, I grew up to always desire friendship and love from others.

The first letter I’d ever sent was the very first letter she had ever read. Coincidental?

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.
