Someone from a long while back sent me an IM; though she didn’t actually remember who I was. Â After sending a photo and a brief bio, she remembered me–and we talked briefly about the last couple years of our lives. Â To be honest, I didn’t really care much about what she had to say, and I didn’t really care to tell her much, either.
I suppose that’s the trouble with meeting people from online–it’s tough to know who’s really going to last, and who’s going to be around for a fleeting moment.
I’ve been trying to cut down on the people I meet from online, and today highlights my reasons why. Â Unless there’s a true connection, there’s no way anyone from online only can ever be as true a friend as someone from in person. Â Kind of a tough realization, but I had to come to it.
