I pursued a long-distance relationship with someone I met online

I continued to draw her even after she disappeared, and I pretended to be someone else to reconnect with her

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had known that she was catfishing and that her online persona was not real"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be cautious of online relationships and prioritize real-life connections"
