I joined GPF in order to learn more about people and get a better idea of how I could interact with them better. I have found some excellent friends on here and am finding new ways to use this platform more efficiently.

I haven’t been here long but I have met a couple wonderful people on here, one I can call a friend and another I hope to soon call a friend. Both follow Jesus just as well as I do and to me it’s very important to find friends who are also Christian. I’ve loved being able to slow down and write letters to them as well as experience the excitement that comes from getting letters in the mail again!

It helps you easily find friends with the same interests as you, but people don't always respond to your messages. I like how a lot of it is connected to culture, like the cultural keepsake.
