I know it's weird the first time you do it, but like

meet your online friends in real life

make those travel arrangements

drive that distance, stay with each other

we're not 11 years old talking to strangers. we are adults in voice chats daily, or video chats, or regular game groups, and we're friends. we're pen pals and ride or die homies and like

it's so worth it

most of the time you can do the same things you do online, in person! sit in the same room and game, or quietly write, or maybe even better you can relocate to a local area together and do what you normally do, there

I just think it's so beautiful and I'm so excited to have met so many of my online friends and to host them or be hosted by them and it makes me so happy to see them go on and make plans to meet more friends! it is so lovely so so lovely

like! does your heart not just burst at the thought of all these ride or die friends who have cried on voice chat with each other and poured their hearts out, and grown together, finally finally finally hugging with flesh and blood arms????!!

there is joy in this world and solidarity and human connection and it can sit on a couch with you!?!

we keep our secrets high up in the lighthouse
