musing, online vs offline lives 

At the same time, though, I don't want to give up either. Even though I've only been involved in these certain virtual social circles (such as here) for less than a year now--and despite my recent inability to maintain a constant presence in some of them--they have become almost as important to me as if they had been there all along.

musing, online vs offline lives 

I feel like part of me has split-off and formed it's own identity, but not one that is completely independent. I am aware of both sides at any given time--the issue comes when I have to rectify my availability in one world with that of the other, and I fear at times it may be slowly eroding the stability of my original life.

musing, online vs offline lives 

Does anyone else experience a marked disparity between their social presentation and experiences in the online world in comparison to their day-to-day lives in offline meatspace? How do you address it and find balance?

Over the past half-year-plus, I seem to have developed a markedly different self from the one I maintain day-to-day for in-person interactions. While realizing that this is not uncommon in general, I am genuinely curious as to others' experiences.

how to: get me to be your nbf 

1. talk to me
2. cuddle me
3. be nice to me
4. repeat steps 1-3 for a while
5. tell me that you love me
6. if I say I love you too:
repeat steps 1-3 for a day
if I say I don't love you yet/only love you as a friend:
repeat steps 1-3 until I fall in love with you
7. ask me to be your nbf

disclaimer: steps will not work if I tell you no or to stop, obviously

I have inadvertently neglected you for too long, my friends, but that does not mean I have not thought of you in that time.

How have you been?
