I Believe That Internet Friends Are Real

I hate when people say "Internet friends aren't real". So you mean that because I met you through the Internet, that I can't possibly be a true friend? Yes, there are those unsavory types who play at being a nice person, a friend, but I'm not one of them. I have stayed up very late just to help an Internet friend out, cried and laughed with them, and that to me, is a friend. So yes, I am on the other side of your screen, but I'm real and a friend.
