Anticipation Letter from a Pen Pal

Slowly!

I first heard this app from my friend, she said I could write a letter to somebody out there, with a pen pal. 

This app is bringing back the concept of the past, that we could send a letter to a pen pal friend, plus our message is anonym and will be delivered in several minutes to hours even days, depending on the distance. 

''Amazing!" 

That's one of my first impression, until I tried to use the apps and found some friends.

 

The idea of exchanging letter is really good, we can talk freely without afraid of a judgement.

It's different from another social media. We can have deeper connection as we don't look other people from their appearances, nationality, religion, and races. In contrast, we try to listen their way of thoughts, how they see the world through their point of views. 

....and every letters are written with heart. 

It's easy to read, but when we want to pour our ideas into writing, is a challenging one!!\\

It's also hard to find a pen pal. 

You know when someone is exchanging letters, the sender and receiver should find something in commons. So the conversation will flow, again and again. But again, the name of this app is Slowly, why not enjoying it slowly?

The feeling when I could find a matching friend, after I write some letters will become a mixed feeling. 

For example if there's a notification, 'You have an incoming letter" my heart is pounding, I'm really happy. 

I'm wondering is he/she will become one of my pen pal for good? 

The anticipation letter make us curious and excited just like waiting our online shops packages. Moreover, we couldn't just sent the letter, and in a second the receiver will reply, no... It needs a patience for the sender to wait for the letter to arrive, then wondering... 

Is he/she will replying back? 

What should I write for the reply? 

Did I talk too much?

Is he/she still activate the account? 

And eventually sending a letter with this worries. 

But feeling happy again if the notification arrives. 

""" Arriving in 15 hours """ 

That's make this app really special. 

When I read Slowly stories (from other users), they said this app give big impacts for their life. Some people did really inspiring or supporting each other, exchanging languages, their daily life, and cultures, even meet up each other, and many more. 

Even tough I was calculated as a new user, and still received only some letters, I'm sending my sincerest thanks to the developer and also my pen pals out there. 

'Thanks for making such a great app'

'Thanks for reading my random stories'

'Thanks for replying me back and send me your stories'

I like writing (for example this blog 😅), 

The feeling when I write my letter is like having a friend to talk with almost about anything. The difference compare when I write for my blog of course, I have somebody that will reply my stories, answer my questions, making a joke sometimes, and I could have wider perspectives from stranger that live in different part of the world and still anonymous (unless we both agreed to share personal information). 

We can travel across the world just by writing letters!!

Well, is a good apps worth a try. To be noticed, it's not a dating apps that you might be imagined, it's a place to find a virtual friendship in non-romantic ways (it's still possible if you could find one). 

Happy writing! 

Cheers,
