While we often feel annoyed or anxious when people take forever to reply to our texts, on Slowly, taking forever is the point.

Letter to a Japanese Friend, Winter Solstice

As a teenager who has grown up in an age defined by technology and social media, I did not think I would like having to wait days for a single response.

Remembering a song by, maybe, the biggest singer from Argentina, José Larralde, he said: "I’ve been through all the world, in the same place..."

I was so happy that I went around the house saying "I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM JAPAN"

Our letters are long, drawn out paragraphs, about everything...

Тепер у мене також є нова велика мрія купити квиток до Південної Кореї та полетіти до Сеула, щоб зустріти мою чудову споріднену душу!

With no pretense, I suddenly found special people who cheer up my heart and make smile and laugh many times.

It's like finding Atlantis! I found a lot of nice people who share the same interests as I am.

Це сповіщення зробило його щасливим як ніщо інше в його похмурі дні, навіть якщо це означало 19 болісно приємних годин очікування.

He is 60 years older than me, and yet we can still find things to agree upon and share.

Our friendship will be more than a year soon. And every single day I keep going to have new friends!
