Finding New Friends, Developing Lasting True Friendships...it can be done

You’re probably asking; what does this have to do with anything? You’re probably asking; Why am I using these two platforms to speak about? You’re asking yourself; How could anyone find real true and lasting friendships online? First I have to take you on a journey to answer those question. Lets go… (oh, towards the end I will get emotional)
On cold February night of 2017 I discovered Discord, a social media platform that offered not only text chat but a voice chat. I was nervously frightful, never really actually talked to someone on the Internet using any kind of voice technology. I grew up with AOL and other text chat forums. Those were pretty easy to navigate and no one really knew who you really were unless you told them. It was earlier in the daylight hours that I registered into Discord’s platform. After the signing up, I began to search for groups to join. I stumbled upon several groups, these groups are called Discord Server Groups. Not only do you get a voice chat but a general text chat where everyone participates. Sharing of textual thoughts, links to news articles, links to music videos, shared photos, whatever you wanted as long as it wasn’t against the chat rules it was fair game to post. They even had a sort of a library filing system to where you could drop certain things in those categories.
These group servers had people from not only here in America and Canada, but all over the world. At first some of us had communication issues due in part to our lingo used and languages. In due time that all got worked out. Once that happened the relationships started to develop. New friendships sparked. I witnessed several turn into love interest relationships along the way. Even I had a few relationship that got really close, so close there was a spiritual bond that was formed. I had one friendship that developed into one that still to this very day causes me to get very emotional because the woman that I got to know so well personally on an intimate level (trying not to start crying my eyes out), well, she died. (silence…) The many mornings that we spent working on news to give to people via our group YouTube Channel was filled with general and personal conversations. Our bond grew and grew and became so solid that both of us considered each other family of sorts. I grew to have much more than a friendship love in my heart for her. I never really got to express that to her directly. That’s the part that haunts me still to this very day. Life does what life does after you loose someone precious and dear, it moves on and so do you along for the ride.
I’m not going to tell you that you will never have groups that break up and fall completely apart because there will always be. These groups that break up never really have the chemistry that it takes to form those special bonds that’s needed for lasting relationship. There were plenty along the way. One break up nearly caused an online World War III of epic egotistical proportions. When you deal with people there’s a huge chance you will have chaos and drama makers. Those people nine times out of ten either have mental issues or just plain ole assholes but it takes a while for them to show their real true colors.
After this time of turmoil and chaos things quieted down a bit and allowed new beginnings to which blossomed yet another opportunity to develop newer friendships. I had another opportunity to gain yet another friend, yes, another woman that really took over where the last one, my dear friend left off. We spent night after night that I was off and she was off of work really getting to know each other. A year into our friendship things got hotter between us. We’d spend hours talking about our travel wish list that consisted of a trip to Israel and other places together. All of this lasted for almost four years. Then out of nowhere another group that we were apart of broke up and people began to fade off and away. A lot of people were no longer around. This cause us to separate too. She had personal things go on in her life that caused her to not be around. I did not hold that against her. I have really missed chatting with her and still wonder what going on with her.
Discord chats began to fade out and become a literal ghost town. This is when I made my move and transition to Telegram.
Telegram was a whole lot different in their set up and platform but not too much different. With a voice and text chat it offers the same functionality as Discord does. As I transitioned over I wondered and stumbled into many groups. Some groups were filled with chaotic people to which I quickly separated myself from. Some groups had rules that did not consist of and freedom to move around them. I adjourned myself form those groups too. Like I told you previously, there will be break ups and Telegram is not immune to that. Several groups broke up along the way. I was left on several of those occasions by myself hoping in and out of other groups that opened their chats up. Having to go through this process over and over again I learn valuable lessons about people and their behaviors. Won’t go into details on those but you can surmise what most of them are.
As I gained access to other groups a few of them opened up to forming relationships with others once again. As I navigated the night I had landed myself in one particular Patriot group where I now call my Home and Online Family. In this very special group of mostly women but enough guys to balance everything out we have formed one heck of bond that is rock solid. It’s the longest running episodic group I’ve been with. Some of those women have become like older sisters and some aunts. Some of the guys have become like brothers. It is where I found my Co-Founder of FEN. Telegram is where I also found others that have also become a part of the FEN Family. Without them, FEN would not be what it is today. I have learned so much from this spectacular group of people. I even have learned how to be a much stronger person. On certain issues I’ve been stubborn like a government mule to have others that help change those stubborn ways and to bring me into check so I don’t fly off in fits of rage is an amazing experience to voluntarily go through. When you have strong alpha females that can check your ego for you, you learn real fast. These women are real true rock solid Patriot Ladies that I would not trade them for anything in this world for. The guys, hey, can’t forget about them. To have other guys that are on the same page in the same book, when it comes to values and morals, and ethics is amazing as well. To have guys that if I don’t know something , I can rely on them to lead me in the right direction so I can either know how to fix something or know what to get instead. When you can have a group that turns into a Family where you can share your personal life with, get emotional with, pray and have church with, celebrate with, and be brought close with… that’s all you need in a Family.
Finding New Friends online, Developing Lasting True Friendships online...it can be done. I hope that you enjoyed this Late Night Journey. I really hope that you can find those really good, loyal, and trusted friends that are rock solid in your life. We all need those types of friends. I got Friends who are more of a Family than Family that acts like Family. Those Friends and that Telegram Group knows who they are. I LOVE THEM ALL❤️🔥❤️. ❤️ 🤍💙 😜 😉
