Penpalships You Can Only Find on Slowly
We went through the unknown together and came out the other end hand in hand.
Sometimes it comes slowly, letter by letter, until it becomes what it was always meant to be.
It all started with a letter... But that letter was only the beginning.
I loved discovering what she wrote to me, I loved her words and her way of saying โgoodbyeโ by sending hugs...
Together with him, I tasted things I had never tasted, listened to songs I had never heard, and discovered a country unknown to me.
It was mid-September 2021, and that evening we got together. Our souls had found each other.
I often think about how magical it is that the person who sent me the first letter on Slowly has become the person I am now building our lives with.
I never expected to meet anyone on this app, let alone find my soulmate.
From strangers, to online penpals, to best friends, and now onwards to life companions.
There is something so unrealistic yet utterly romantic about sending countless letters to some person youโve never met, and slowly falling in love in the process...
Distance can weaken couples, but Iโd say itโs made us stronger.
My life started changing after that point and now she is to become my wife.
