Online friends are so wonderful. They can be anywhere--Tokyo, France, New Hampshire--and yet you can CONNECT with them from somewhere else completely. You wouldn't believe how many awesome people I've met with my same interests that I can never seem to find in daily life. But... The problem is that they always LEAVE.
One day you never receive a reply, or you find their account has been suspended or removed or deleted....they block you or refuse to answer anymore messages. And then you're left with that big gaping whole in your heart. And no one else can feel it.
I suppose it's just a risk you have to take, then, whenever you make virtual friends. They can be either the greatest things to happen to you, or the very worst. Use caution when you make them.
