It's great how in the modern age, you can know somebody for over a decade through just a screen, being the best of friends—talking most days, confiding in eachother and being mutually supportive, shooting the shit and having good times, the same way an offline friendship would work.

But then they stop talking. A day comes by when you notice that it's been months since you heard from your friend, and the last news they gave you was that they're very sick and heading to hospital. The funny part is how thanks to technology we can build these meaningful and rewarding relationships with people that make life awesome without ever physically being in their company. The sad part is that sometimes unlike an offline friendship, we can't just head over to their house, catch them at a shop or out and about, call up their brother or sister, neighbour, or anyone else to find out how they're doing and tell them we care and that we're worried.
