My online friends are as real and valuable as the RL ones. I mean blind ppl can't see their friends but nobody doubts the value they place on their relationships!

I have very close relationships with some people I've met here. Friends like you fuzzy who've been a source of strength and support when I had nothing left of myself to give me.

Friends like a guy I met here whom I've lost sleep over due to my offer to stay awake through out a triggering Labour Day weekend, because his relationship was too new at the time to involve his gf.

Friends who I stay in contact with daily, that when my phone was giving trouble I had a massive meltdown the other day at the thought of not being able to interact with them.

Real friends, people who I've come to recognize as family and in no way easy to discard...

So my answer is no I don't find it easier to turn my back on my cyber friends...

Love you muchness Furrypaws
