Technology is a tool, helpful when it wants to work, but I believe it’s damaged our sense of community, of social skills and disconnected us as much as we’ve tried to connect with others

Keywords: Poems, rant, life, technology, lifestyle, media, people

it became clear that technology as much as we believed or hoped it would be, failed in replicating the presence of the people we missed. People who weren’t friends even began to miss each other. The clerk at the local dairy was finally someone to be recognized and appreciated. The forced distancing made us crave contact even with strangers, despite or weariness of the virus. We are social creatures, yes, but there’s nothing like a simple sit-down-and-chat. I hope that we’ve seen through the media guise and learned or at least remembered to appreciate the power of physical contact and verbal communication.

Simon Sinek: “Life is beautiful because of the people we meet”

I have to admit that I have often escaped such moments lately and most often I missed them very much. I missed in hidden because it’s usually hard for me to get used to myself, how to connect such moments with me in a positive way.

What happened in Galway reminded me that it is worth taking care of meeting with our friends, more.

Belief in soulmates keeps people out of our lives who we don’t believe are our soulmate

It’s nice to think that there are people out there who are meant to be in our lives, but bogging down our mind with the belief that we have a soulmate waiting for us, and that we haven’t found them yet, or that we found them and we are about to lose them, is not healthy. It detracts from who we are, what we are capable of, and what we do on a daily basis.

Moreover, it keeps people out of our lives who we don’t believe are our soulmates. We push them aside as we focus on the people that ‘really matter’, and that causes us to lose out on some relationships that can benefit our lives in an amazing way.
