The thing that drives me really crazy is how some people ask me how I could be nuts enough to fall in love over the net, or how I could actually believe our love is real, just because I don't get to see him everyday or to be near him. Then, there are those people who do actually believe me when I say that our love is at least to us, but that loves established on a meeting each other have more value and our love is just silly and will never last. What they don't realize is that they are outside the relationship, and it is not their place to stand there and give me their two cents when they don't know really know us.
They don't feel the emotions that we do. They are right that we don't get to see each other much, but we talk almost everyday. We share the things that happen in our day with each other, we talk about how we feel, and he knows me better than anyone else in my life. I don't hesitate to talk to him when something happens to me or I don't feel right, and he does the same with me. Besides, I've had boyfriends in real life that I haven't even come halfway close to the feelings I have for him. When a person connects with someone it doesn't matter whether or not that person can be physically close to them. What matters is how they feel when they talk with them, so if that person is good for them, and can make them laugh or smile, they shouldn't give them up, no matter what other people say.
Human beings as a race can be egotistical and think they know everything but despite what we think sometimes, we don't, and don't be convinced otherwise. My advice to people in my situation is to listening to yourself, other people are just blowing smoke at you.
So, if this happens to be read by one of those people who have adorned their robes, back off and think a moment. Ask the question, "What do I really know about what I am dishing out judgment on?" On the other hand, if someone who knows firsthand what I'm talking about reads this, even if the situation is a little different, don't get discouraged. Things will most likely work out, if effort is put into making it work.
