I find having a continual presence online has kept me
perpetually young.* I was lucky enough to be there when I was
but I'm more grateful to be here, now.* I think it's why I love
internet Memes and anything new that comes along.* It never gets
old to me.* And yet, having a deep background allows me to see
the fundamental "who the heck really knows what they're talking
about anyway?" underneath it all, while still being able to
thoroughly enjoy every encounter with another online. Better
still, I've been able to pass this on newer "netizens" (remember
that word? where'd it go? :P ) - this idea of, "Look, someone's
bullying you online?* Delete their comment.* Block them.* Yes,
you can do that.* It's your youtube channel/g+ acct/fb/vine
acct/whatever.* Friendship online is as real as real life and
can also be fake, just like real life.* It's all BS, including
you and me and that's ok and it's all true too.* Give 100% of
yourself here because THIS is the place you can do the things
you can't do in your "3D life". etc etc.* " i could write a book
but probably won't. etc etc.* Those kinds of lessons I got to
learn through experience, I can (and have) passed on; and others
get to progress even further than I and they do. So I never feel
old.* I feel lucky!
