At which point are we going to stop saying, “It’s just social media?” Relationships of all kinds have sprung forth thanks to the Internet, especially romantic ones. And while we appreciate the #blacklove of legends like Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis, the Obamas and the Carters, it’s nice to see real-life examples of love stories come true.
Black Twitter created the #WeMetOnTwitter tag to share these stories and it’s beautiful. While it may be easy to dismiss Valentine’s Day as just a manufactured holiday, these tweets will make you believe in love.
#WeMetOnTwitter… well, FB actually. We had mutual friends & knew of each other but never met. I said HBD on her TL & we moved to the DMs❤️ pic.twitter.com/KmXss6oPaV
