It all started with "Saudações cara compatriota!" ("Greetings my fellow compatriot!") and in total, we ended up exchanging 103 letters.

I'm no longer afraid of being rejected by people because I know there will always be someone who will accept me for who I am, no matter how bad my flaws and imperfections might be.

By simply letting our personalities flow through our letters, we were able to convey to others who we are despite the distance.

I’m truly happy that we got to know each other through that app, and that both of us can find support in each other.

Більшу частину свого життя я відчувала себе ізольованою. Я відчувала відчуженість від своїх однолітків у школі, і навіть від своєї родини.

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 :)

Коли я знову почав спілкуватися з людьми, я помітив, що зміг мати кращі розмови і зв’язуватися з людьми на більш глибокому рівні.

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...
