Dear Stranger: I'm a student living in New Zealand, I've sadly lost contact with all my friends from school, and I've been in search of strong and lasting friendships with people of similar personalities and beliefs.Some of my fondest memories involve writing: from passing cute handwritten notes back in primary school, to texting my first middle school friend over summer holidays, to exchanging long emails with my pen pal.I'm looking to form lasting friendships with someone who is "quiet", genuine and dedicated.
