A Virtual World… But Real Feelings…

Today I saw a video of a There wedding that really touched me. Weddings inside There are quite common actually and I think those are prime examples of how There may be a virtual world but the people behind the avatar are very real and have actual feelings and emotions. I have had love inside There. I was very close to someone and then they simply disapeared. I can’t say that it doesn’t affect me to this day. I think about the relationship and what happened everyday because it was so much a part of me. I don’t expect everyone to understand how love could develope between two people inside a virtual world. I think it is hard to explain but the feelings that are felt are still very real.

What touched me the most about this video was a quote, actually. It went like this: “You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.” It is rather hard to explain why this touched me so much. I suppose because that person that I loved did have faults and her leaving me was one of them. But I loved her then and I still love her today. It really tares me apart not knowing what happened to her. However, I still appreciate the time that I got to spend with her. Life gave me a great gift by allowing me to meet her and I will never forget any moment we spent together.

That video caused me to reflect on my past in There and the fact that There may be virtual but it really does touch real lives. No relationship, real or virtual, can ever replace what I have experienced in There. She touched my life so and I deeply thank her for that. I also thank There for giving me an oppertunity to meet and love her. A relationship like the one I had only comes around once in a life time and even sometimes never. I really may never know what truly happened to her or what her reason was for dispearing but that doesn’t matter any more. I still have the memories and the feelings, which is so much more then having nothing.
