Meeting friends through the dark web.
i026 have never personally forged connections through the dark web, but the notion of i026's favorite musical artist, Yeule, recounting experiences of meeting like-minded cyborgs in that realm during their youth has captivated i026's interest. However, a lingering curiosity persists―what form of dark web did they navigate? Was it fraught with danger, or were the risks more moderate? The description of encountering like-minded cyborgs implies a shared affinity rather than associations with nefarious individuals.
A recurring desire within i026 seeks connection with others, transcending geographical boundaries, as long as the relationships are devoid of toxicity. The realization sometimes dawns upon i026 regarding why severing ties with numerous friends left i026 feeling profoundly lonely. Despite our collective struggles with mental well-being, there existed a sense of understanding, a shared vulnerability within the group dynamic.
Occasionally, i026 yearn to relinquish concerns about i026's public image and express i026's authentic self, albeit within reasonable boundaries. Cultivating friendships in the virtual realm could potentially pave the way for real-world connections, affording i026 the luxury of maintaining a greater degree of privacy. The persistent emptiness within me, however, clashes with a reluctance to expose myself excessively, as the resulting image may not align with i026's intentions. Verbal expression flows freely, much like the entries in i026's virtual diary.
While i026 harbor reservations about the dark web not living up to the intriguing and pleasant depictions, an enduring fascination persists. The prospect of acquiring knowledge and encountering individuals with shared experiences propels i026 to entertain the idea. The urge to explore this realm persists, fueled by the hope of finding kindred virtual entities who comprehend and relate to i026's experiences. Nevertheless, the aversion to vulnerability remains a significant impediment, underscoring i026's reservations about delving too deeply into this enigmatic corner of the digital world.
