Internet Friends.

Hi,

Today I wanted to talk about something that is very important to me, my friends, in particular my 'internet' friends. I put internet in quote marks because does it really matter how you make friends.  This is a topic I have put a lot of thought into and I just want to share my views on it. When I talk to my friends at school about my internet friends I see them switch off and just don't pay attention, because it is something you don't appreciate until it is something that you are a part of.

In school or work you have so many people you can start to talk to and from that you gain common interests, hobbies etc., but it is a complete game changer when you start to talk to someone because of a common interest, in most instances people start talking because of a band or someone famous. But once you get beyond the talk of the initial interest they become like any other friends that you may have, sometimes they are even better.

With people on the internet you almost start a fresh and you give the impression that you want to give out, in social situations it is easier for people to judge you, on the internet you don't have to worry about being judges for something you did 3 years ago, you tell them things when you are ready and don't have to worry about it getting around to them through rumors that are only 20% true.

So does it really matter how you meet your friends, all that's important is how they make you feel and how they impact your life.  I am eternally grateful for my friends and I don't know what I would do with out them, I love you all so much
