I don’t know who needs to hear this but you don’t need to expose every single facet of yourself online. There is no inherent requirement for you to be 100% transparent about your personal life and yourself in your online presence. Your online persona is a curtain, and it can be as thin or as thick as you’re comfortable with. You can share your chosen name and leave it at that, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Don’t let people bully you into thinking you need to share all your intimate details, wants, needs, diagnoses, because you don’t. There is no bare minimum, you can share nothing and that is completely acceptable.
This is your internet stage show and you’re in charge of the curtain. Both the material it’s made of, and how far up it goes. Remember that.
for those that dont know, that IS hamtaro :) this is the hamster that hamtaros creation was inspired by/based on, not just a random old photo someone took of their hamster comparing it to hamtaro
online friends are just. i miss you like we’ve met before. you know my family inside and out and none of them know you. the ocean is achingly big but you know i’d cross it for you. you text me good morning as i finish dinner. i wish you could come over for dinner. we have a hundred plans of things to do together and they all feel so far away. i love you as if you were here. for now i’ll love you from here.
