Maybe because I grew up reading Russian romantic literature and then I started reading Tsvetaeva, it seemed to me that the “right” relationship between people is the one of maximum emotional intensity. These notions, however, as promised in children’s books, aggressively destroyed comfortable human relationships: ardent loves were replaced by cruel disappointments.
It’s different now, I’m nurturing old acquaintances and enjoying making new buddies. Also, in recent years, I’ve made a lot of virtual friends: people I’ve never met, sometimes I don’t know anything about them except their nickname. However, they are dear to me.
With few exceptions, attempts at de-development ended in loss of interest or breakup. I absolutely believe that there is nothing more natural and human than a properly constructed virtual relationship.
Here I will gather my friends from different countries, ages, social and professional backgrounds. Some of them could never meet each other. This is going to be a very special Friendblade where only I have the right to speak.
