Friends and faceless friends

So many people I interact with on a daily basis.. so many people who are my chat buddies. I chat with them for hours. I know so much about them. And yet, I have never met them, might never meet them, unless some supernatural intervention happens.

Yet, these faceless friends influence me in the same way as my 'in-person' friends. In fact, I find myself a tad bit more comfortable with them, because appearance is of no value, neither are perceptions.

You are only what you write and the way you phrase it. And yet, I think you are really what you are when you are just a 'faceless friend'...
