I recently commissioned artist WolfRoad to create a new image for my wild wolf character. I first met WolfRoad online, back in 2013. She is a Belrusian artist who shares an affinity for wolves. With her name being essentially similar to my name, it is easy to figure that we took the effort to connect with each other. At the time she only spoke Russian, and I relied on Google Translate to communicate with her. I even began teaching myself Russian to communicate with this wonderful lady.

For a long time I thought, gee I had it made. Great, loving wife, good job, nice house. Things are going well.

But things really aren't well. Over the years, my wife and I have drifted apart. It wasn't quite as apparent early on. We both had opposing work shifts, and being that we were also polyamorous, often the loneliness of not having her around, was supplemented by some other relationship. But in the back of my mind, I always loved my wife above all, and trusted that the love we had was strong.

Through the years I have made many many friends over the internet. In fact, it has historically been the most common place where I would end up making new friends. It is also the medium which I tend to use to keep in touch with those friends. Indeed, I am not alone in this. Many people rely on the internet to make friends, and for some, it is their only means to make friends. This becomes a problem when we are too scared to step out of the digital world, and meet those friends face to face.
