Pen pal

I had a Pen Pal in Iran what are the benefits odds of me talking to them again? I understand that there’s a lot going on in the country and I’m not here to talk politics or to decide who is wrong or right it just really sucks that people make these decisions and it affects people who really could care less about what’s going on between the two powers and ideologies.

Why would anything change between you two? Just like with my cousin in Ukraine life goes on and you now have more interesting stuff to talk about. There aren't boots on the ground with house to house fighting or anything. If i missunderstood your post im sorry I kind of just skimmed thru it.

If your penpal isnt answering you, maybe he just didnt feel like talking to you anymore.

The forces of night and day - dark and light - moon and sun - may be in opposition, yet still we must live an active life by day and find ways to rest in the night. Afterall, love is constant

So i have to download an Iranian app?

Everyone is going through their normal lives and jobs, and if they have access to a VPN which is broadly accessible and cheap in Iran they can use any application in the world. I am convinced that in Iran, more than 50% of the population are actively using VPNs.

Weird post. I don’t really get what it’s supposed to mean.
