Vodka and Lemonade

I'm drinking some vodka and lemonade and it reminds me of Kaity.

I don't know if she knows, but I'm quite fond of this girl. I could possibly concider her my best female friend... though that might be because she doesn't live in the same country as me.

Kaity lives in England, and she's 18? years old? I really don't know, because she acts so much more mature than she should for her age. I know I always think she's older than she is, because she is so mature.

She's been offline for a while... feels like forever, but I know it hasn't been more than a week. She should be back soon... I hope. I didn't realize until she'd gone on vacation, but I talk to her most every day. I share with her my triumphs, and my failures. I can tell her things I don't tell anyone else, because I don't feel like she's judging me.

Part if this, I know, is that she IS so far away. I don't see her face to face, and I don't see what she does when she's not online. With her, and other online people, it's only ever conversation, none of the drama that comes with offline relationships. No he said, she said, just the conversation.

And that's not to belittle online relationships. Some of my favourite people, I only ever talk to online. I think about them day to day and worry about them, just like people I see face to face. I thoroughly enjoy these friends, and worry that they don't realize it.

Even if I don't ever see you, even if we lose contact, know that I still wonder how you're doing from time to time. Everyone you have contact with helps to shape your life. Thank you.
