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.

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.
