Dear Ravi:

To clarify: I know how meaningful Jerry and your communication with her is and has been. By it being online, I do not mean it is or has been any less meaningful. After all I am communicating with you online and I view our communication very meaningful. Online communication often is more meaningful than in person communication. What I meant was that if you were still communicating with Jerry, you would still be in your room, with the same schedule of studying morning to night, in the scorching heat so you would still be distressed even if you were still communicating with her.

And that in contrast to the idea of in person communication with her which would include being outside or in a movie theater or walking late at night hand in hand (when it is not so hot)- things like that. This scenario would mean you having an outing for your distress, and easier life.

I hope I clarified this point. Did I?
