In this tech-world, it is not uncommon to make new friends online. It’s the Internet that has brought us closer, and easier to connect with one another. I personally have made so many friends through online social networking; some that I still keep in touch with, and some I have no idea of their roundabouts anymore. But that’s just how life works I guess.
As an Anxious Introvert, I like communicating with people digitally / online. If you’re like me, I’m sure you can understand what I mean by this. It’s not that I don’t like to hang out with people; I just prefer to do things from the comfort of my own space. Socialising takes a lot of our energy really.
However, there are always pros and cons to everything, right?
Over the years, I’ve bonded quite well with those I’ve known online prior to meeting in person. They’re not just people from my own country, but also those around the globe. Of course, I can’t be that naïve. I don’t just simply befriend anyone because haha, I’m that picky ok. Not desperado.

When I was in Melaka, I thought of meeting someone I just happened to know recently. We hit it off quite well and the conversation was naturally easy but things were also going down fast. It was like riding a roller coaster for the very first time. All exciting at first, but guess what? I stopped riding roller coasters a long time ago.
I don’t know. Perhaps it was just going too fast for me, and I’m someone who enjoys taking things slow. Well, however way it ended; I chose to cherish the good memory anyway. Good always outweigh the bad, right? When I’m ready, I’ll write a more elaborate post on a similar topic. I have much to share, but so little time to write.
It was like a dream
A brief moment
Soon forgotten
A shared laughter
Shoulders brushing against each other
Our eyes met
We smiled
A tender touch
A warm sensation
But what a restless night
A sickening feeling in my stomach
A poke through my chest
An unknown yet familiar state
I was nauseous
An aching feeling to leave
But a wave of sadness knowing it had come to an end
It was not a dream
But a brief moment
To be forgotten
