> I was and am amazed that I have feelings by Internet. Even though I have some experience with it, it still makes me feel like it's a distortion of the normal relationship process.
>It doesn't feel like a distortion to me - it just feels public. Like, we're having conversations here at babble that others are reading and commenting on, and entering in to. It's talking without the benefit of the F2F messages.
I had pen pals from all over the place when I was a kid. When I moved from Montreal to Toronto (at a tender age), my entire class wrote me individual letters that my old teacher sent on to me. I can still picture each writer and their personality when I look at the letters today.
When I used to stutter, being able to write was like having wings. Now I use the words to add dimension to myself here; they flesh me out.
