You know, people have always told me that you can't possibly form strong bonds (friendship or otherwise) With people on the internet.
I beg to differ. Chatrooms, a cause for panic for most parents, but, despite not being a parent, a mere child in my own rights, I have found a most special chat room. It's never busy, you're lucky if there is anyone there at all sometimes. But, some of the people I have met there are so special, and I have come to think of them as very good friends.
All the regulars there have formed a special bond with at least one other person, a bond so tight they are willing to adandon what they beleive in to stick up for them. And help them when they're down.
I'm like the runt of the litter there, the youngest by far, the oldest person I know there is 30.
But, age aside, we can look past that, we have meaningfull conversations which I at least could never experience in the 'real world'
It's a place you can go when you're feeling down, and you can trust the people there are genuinly sympathetic. Genuine sympathy I find very hard to come across, but you know when you have found it.
I cannot tell you the name of this place, it would spoil what is so special to me. (Sorry if that came out wrong, I don't mean offence, you're all great people :) )
But, perhaps if anyone reading this befriends me, I can tell you.
