Friendship Online, Why Not?
By Susan in Relationships, October 14, 20__
I’ve heard countless stories about making friends via the Internet, but I remained sceptical until I got acquinted with Elba. She’s from the USA. We constantly email each other and exchange personal messages through our favourite network. Just imagine: we used to live in the same city! She moved to the USA more than 5 years ago.
I met my friend Elba through Friendster network four years ago. At first, I thought she was just one of the ordinary girls who wanted nothing more than to have numerous friends online. But that common notion proves me wrong. I was fascinated by her visit on someone’s page who paid a visit on her page. We give updates about how things have been in our lives like the recent events in the country we live in: pleasant, funny or sometimes dramatic things; anything under the sun. We share our common interests such as school life, music, shopping and most of all, beauty! What is very particular of Elba is her trendy outfits. We talk about fashion and would love to shop together one day. I am looking forward to visiting her in the USA in future.
There are times we are busy with our daily routine. But what amazes me is that, whenever the two of us initiate a thought of communica ting through the network, we are sure of a response. Every email or the webpage visit is definitely worth it.
That is how me and Elba have been friends for four years now just because of the online technology. That is where our friendship began!
And I’m glad, it did!
