I love the internet because I have made so many friends and relationships, both platonic and romantic, off of this shit in my life that it's honestly a trip to think about. Friends, bonds, pussy, love, all that and more.
It's an amazing thing only if you're real with the people on the other end of those message threads though. I think about that a lot, and I'm thinking about that now. People whose online personas are nothing but cap, not at all indicative of them.
It's like who they are online is an inverse reflection, all the traits they wish they could be so as to provide respite from acknowledging who they really are, and perhaps that is a modern sickness of ours.
There's several more layers to this, some positive and some rotten but all this verbal meandering I'm doing is because I thought about how I first approached the internet - to try and always be honest, never lying, never acting bigger than I am or better. All my victories and all my faults, in all the aspects of my life., so that when I am admired, when I am confided in, when I am celebrated with and valued I know that it's 100% me and not a character I play.
And the reason I thought about this in the first place is because I see someone who is feeling like they had to play a character, unable to continue playing that character and unraveling.
I'm not mad. I only feel pain in my heart that you thought I wouldn't accept you as you are.
You have a very smooth and thoughtful way of writing, just thought I'd let you know profound/10
