I have so many ideas saved as drafts for this new blog that I didn’t know where to start! So, I decided to talk about something I’m currently enjoying: the Slowly app.
If you knew my age (almost 25, only two months left!), you’d know I’m not used to writing physical letters. The only letters I wrote were to the Three Wise Men when I was little —I'm Spanish, by the way— but never to anyone else. Writing letters felt like a lost art, and I kept wondering: How does it even work? Could I give it a try?
With today’s technological progress and social media, we’re used to instant communication, and honestly, I’ve grown tired of it. That’s when I stumbled upon Slowly while browsing the App Store (not sure how I ended up finding it, though).
Slowly is like a modern twist on pen pal letters —a slow version of WhatsApp, or even Tinder, since you can match with people. The coolest part? Your letters aren’t sent instantly; the delivery time depends on the distance between you and the recipient. That’s what really caught my attention. Plus, the profiles are anonymous, with no real pictures (though you can add a biography if you like).
At first, the app can feel a bit tricky until you get the hang of it or find people who share your interests, but trust me, it’s worth it.
P.S.2: I hope we read each other more often from now on :)
