Unforeseen encounter in the midst of a global pandemic: A story on how I met my best friend twice.

เราคุยกันได้ง่ายเหมือนในชีวิตจริงเหมือนในแอป เดินไปรอบๆ ห้าง และกินขนมที่ Dippin’ Dots

He lives just 10 minutes from my apartment! Can you believe it?! I have never meet him...

Letters are not for everyone. I had sent letters to my friends on their birthdays and they have, without fail, never written back.

It left me feeling so uninspired to reach out to anyone else, until – Just when I least expected it, I had an incoming letter from Iran.

Last chapter: A transnational friendship

We exchanged a few handwritten letters (until mine was lost in the mail), met a few times to work together in a café or walk along the Seine.

Thank you for promoting human interactions, thank you for exposing the world as a small place to us…

Thanks to Slowly I have become a more patient person.

Slowly gave me hope, captured in a letter.

I am feeling emotions I haven't experienced in a long time. We share things we love and try to appreciate the things we don't.

Earth can be a scary, chaotic place, but it feels more like home when you know there are people thousands of miles away who are willing to face the challenges here with you.
