There are folks that I met on tumblr as a teenager
With whom I'm still in contact today.
These are people that I've never met face to face,
But whose secrets I know, whose angsts I know.
People I have grown into adulthood with.
People who have surprised me,
People who have met my expectations,
People who are working, or aren't,
People who now have kids, or don't.
People who I am tied to by ethereal internet threads that have remained unsevered for over a decade.
Every once in a while we message each other,
And it feels like catching up with an old friend.
The modes of our communication,
Remain the same.
