Emotions anyone?

I just got done visiting my dear brother Gavin's very blue myO. And it made me think of the values of an internet relationship, whether it be friendship, mutual agreements, or more than friends. I've met a few people on the OB who disagree with having an internet relationship, and most who depend on this internet relationship for support. The people who disagree bring good points about this. With an internet relationship, you can't truely connect with a person here as you would IRL.

However, I find that I have been able to connect with many OB members on a more intimate level than I would IRL. I know I will never know the "real" person, but you learn to develop different forms of trust and friendship through the internet.

Take SilpheedPilot and me. For the past year and two months, he and I have developed a bond in which has no match. Most relationships are based upon physical chemistry, and are hard to keep in tact because of this reason. That's why a personality is the most important key in a relationship. With this, Joe (SP) and I got to flourish in a deeper relationship based purely on personality.

As time passed, I grew a little worried that we would fade away (like most 'net friendships), but instead we only grew closer together. I can't really explain it to where you would understand, but I feel that 'net relationships are more than just words.
