Such a Shame

Coming as a first message, this is a little intense and weird:

“you know it’s a real shame that we met here… because im sure that outside of this you’re really fun and interesting person and I know that I am too…. but people can never really be themselves online… I mean, look around you… its guys trying to be super confident and girls trying to be super b`tchy… interesting thing is, someone like you is probably cautious at first… which is cool once people get to know you… its just that no one really gets that far

I live my life a certain way…. I try to see the beauty in everything and believe that beauty is often bred from tragedy…. and unlike most, I believe that people in this world are inherently GOOD…and I do my best to see that good in everyone–even if I have to look hard to find it… I put my trust out there and always give the benefit of the doubt… and if I see their best intentions…. they are going to want to live up to it… people will rise to the occasion”

I hate that people consider sending someone a message (or even conversing with them online) “meeting” someone.   I have met people that I talked with online that I was very compatible with online through written word, but not through spoken word.   I think in the online stages, you merely know of the person, and don’t actually know them.
