If this was an app it would be so much easier then you could get notifications if somebody added you or messaged back instead of logging onto the site every time. Otherwise its super easy

This website allowed me to learn from the people I engaged with; knowing that people come from different culture and backgrounds. The struggles of everyday life and how they are coping with it made me feel I am not alone. Just being there, writing to each other makes one feel that even the smallest things matters….knowing you have a mail.;)
