Maddie!

First off, THREE DAYS!

So, for anyone that cares, I had a really really great day. Hilarious, fun, sweet... just such an awesome day.

But now I am home and was still happy. Until I got a text.

It's really hard being positive when one of your best friends is falling apart. You want nothing more than to go and give her a hug and punch the offenders in the face, but you can't.

Because they all live six hours away.

Just because one only know a friend online, does not mean that they are not just as close, of not closer, than any other given friend.
You still talk to them just as much, maybe more. You text and message and share stories and know each others issues, crushes, family, friends, you know all about their life and the people in it. You tell each other just as much if not more than you tell IRL friends. She is one of the two people I can tell absolutely anything to. And I do. She's the only person who will let me rant to her and constantly tell her silly little things throughout my day... without getting annoyed.

When they are upset, it bothers you just as much.
When they are excited, it makes you just as happy.
Whenever something new happens, she is usually the first person I go to.
If not the first, I definitely tell her shortly after.

Don't tell me that it's not a real friendship. Or that people should not start relationships over the internet.
I'm not the only one. Niether is she.
People meet friends that are like sisters, or brothers, and that stay in their lives forever.
Some of them just happen to be done online.
They have fights, they go through phases of friendship.

They just happened to stumble upon the same website on the same day.
They just happened to keep finding each other after periods of conversation.
They just happened to find a way to start talking everyday.
They, not so coincidentally, grew from talking about a love for a book to talking about everything that is anything, and many things that arn't.
They became best friends.
They have never met, and are not sure if they ever will.
But that's the only think that stops them from having a "normal" friendship.
From being "normal" best friends.

Now, Shane. You don't know me. I'm not sure if you know who I am. But you better be glad I'm not there.

I don't know why I wrote this.
I don't know why it's so spazzy.
I don't know if anyone will read this.
I don't care if anyone does.
