Why are we like this?

I have gotten to know so many people through them, I´ve travelled places I never thought I´d go and my god, I laugh and smile and cry so much. I guess, somehow, obessions are my RL.

Me too. My closest friends are friends I've met online, and I've travelled all over the country meeting up with them. A couple of my friends even ended up getting married after they met for the first time in RL when they came to visit me. I've got friends all over the world, including some very good friends who know more about me than people I see every day.
When I went to my friends' wedding I also met up with another friend, who we all knew from the forum we all first met on. When I got to the hotel I just flung my stuff in my room and headed over to the bar where he said he'd meet me. I'd never physically met him before, but I recognised him instantly, and we spent the next four hours sitting and talking and laughing as though we'd only seen each other the previous week. As we said at the time, we were friends in every sense of the word - didn't make any difference that we'd never seen each other before - that was just superficial.

I don´t want to miss out like Ennis and Jack did. I want to spend my life doing whatever it is I wanna do and not live my life as others expect me to.

Same here. Life's too short for "what ifs" and "what might have beens" - you've just got to get on out there and do it!

that´s great to hear. I´m glad that you too have had good experiences. Yeah, some say that Internet isolates people but the case often is quite the opposite.
BlissC:
Very much the opposite with me - every day I get to "meet" new people who I'd never get to meet if it wasn't for the internet - people with alsorts of interests and experiences - some the same as me, some not. As an added bonus I sometimes get to meet them in RL too.
When I first found BetterMost I was still feeling quite low and confused about how "just" a film could affect me so much, even after two years, probably more so after two years. My first post here I said "It feels like I've found home". For the first time in two years I can talk openly about my feelings about BBM without anyone laughing at me, or thinking I must be crazy to feel like this. I feel accepted and I can be myself and I don't have to hide that part of me away. That means a hell of a lot.

That's true, Artiste!
My mum always used to tell me that everything happens for a reason. The day I first went to the cinema there was a reason I ended up seeing BBM and not whatever else was showing on the next screen, and I'm in a better place because of it. :)
