I Believe That Internet Friends Are Real

I love internet friends but I think what I hate is that a [i]lot[/i] of them are temporary. You have deep and engaging conversations with them and suddenly you just kind of stop talking, one of you stops coming online, etc. It's easier to make friends online but it's also unfortunate that most of them don't last.

It doesn't have to be that way though. On the flip side I do a podcast and I've had a lot of acts I've grown up listening to on for interviews and occasionally I'll text them or they'll text me or we may call each other at the odd time and I met most of these guys on the internet through social media. So they started out as interviews and some of them I consider real friends now.
