~:[CH8 - Day 113]:~ Staying Connected
We live in a world that is said to be so interconnected. Maybe it's because we seem to know how things are going with everyone because of social media. However, sometimes we forget about those that are off the grid or how social media can simply be a front for people, when in reality the struggles of life are catching up to them. As much as the internet can provide connectivity, I always like it to face people one-on-one and catch up. The value and importance of keeping a connection alive can sometimes be undervalued as a simple text or DM can never replace human interaction in person. It was great to be able to catch up and in my decision to come up a little early, it was a nice break for the solitude and tranquility of my work environment here. Yes, I still was able to get a lot of the work that I set out to accomplish done, but also found some time to get away and to stay connected. Social media is a great way to keep up to date on what people are doing, but take the time to meet with them in person to truly find out how they are doing. It can mean all the difference beyond this world wide web.
