Response to Isis

Isis,

Hello. Thanks for responding. Actually this blog helped my thesis paper tremendously. From my own experience about online relationship and the women who were into cyber dating themselves. My research is indeed supported with such solid testimonials. I couldn't be any happier discovering this site. It contributed to the materialization of my paper but more so, to my realization about life and love in general.

I never expected to fall in-love with this Egyptian man for real, but it happened and I am willing to take the risk. I know everyone is skeptical about this love story just like I am. Fears and doubts occupied my head, but my heart is telling me to gamble and embrace the unknown. They said, regrets are not the things you've done but the things you did not do. There are two words that are more painful than sorry, What if and what could have been? Will I be hurt? Sure. Loving someone is giving him/her the power to hurt you and every relationship has its ups and downs regardless of ones culture, nationality or religion.

After some weeks or months, I would probably post here again about my pains and heartaches. Who knows? Life is about making bold choices and taking risks. I am not scared to cry. I want to experience these emotions, sad or happy and only then I could say, I live life to the fullest.

Love,

Amber Rose
