A Virtual Love Letter.... to you

All this week, I feel like I've had nothing to say....

Let me rephrase that - I always have PLENTY to say.  I just couldn't get my thoughts to flow properly from my brain and through my fingers into this blog-osphere.

Today, I've had some inspiration & my inspiration comes from people like you, my virtual friends.

That sounds so strange, doesn't it?  Virtual friends.

I thought about it.  Then I thought about it again, and it's very clear.  I hide nothing on here.  I am as "naked" and honest in my writing as humanly possible & you love me anyway.  Alright, maybe you just like me - but you're here.

Reality just isn't like that.  In real life, people may love you - but they also judge you for the things you say, the things you do.  They don't always want to hear the really awful stuff that is a part of who you are.

Here - it's right out there for the world to see.  If you don't like someone's blog or page, you don't interact - you don't go back.  No one knows the difference.

It's in the people who stay who learn you and you learn them.

I'm not saying I choose the virtual world over the real world - but I am saying that the friends that I've made on here are real true people that I enjoy and feel a kinship with.  We all choose each other.

I love that.

I've been touched so deeply by some of you.  I've made real, true connections.  Friendships I'd never known could be made - over the internet.  It amazes me.  Really.

This community - amazes me.  Everyone seems to care about each other.  If you've been gone for a few days - someone notices & checks in on you.  If someone is sad, we lift each other up.  We congratulate each other.  Just like a real family - but virtually.

As fuzzy as this may all sound, as I work through my writer's block - I hope my little internet love letter to all of you comes through properly.

To you all - thank you.

I truly appreciate you all & have much love for you.

Thank you for reading my blog!

  1. Gahhh. You NAILED IT. The connection we have with each other is REAL. It's so hard to explain unless you experience it first hand. If u would've asked me at the end of July if I would make friends online, I would've said, 'I doubt it...that's not what this is about. It's about me working on ME.' Plus...there are all kinds of WEIRDOS ONLINE!!!
    Guess what? There are TONS of weirdos JUST LIKE ME. REAL people. People that try to do their best. People that have great intentions. People who ARE SINCERE. How do I love people I've never met & may never meet? I don't know. And, I don't care. We screw up & we try to do better. We're NOT mean spirited. We GOOD PEEPS MAN!!! I love you girl! Cyn

  3. A little over a year ago I didn't even know how to turn on a computer. Now here I am feeling like I couldn't survive a day without the internet!!! I have met some incredible people this past year--mostly bloggers--and have even reconnected with old friends on Facebook. I just wish I could get all my bloggy friends together for some kind of crazy weekend...imagine the fun (and trouble!!) we'd have? Thanks for sharing this, Jenn! You are a gem. Smooches!!!
