Do you ever wonder why you meet and connect with the people you meet?

Keywords: {0}

What draws you to people? Why do we seek out some people to be friends and not others? Is it nature? Nurture? In this current climate where we have limited interactions it makes me wonder what kind of people I’ve missed out on meeting. Maybe I could have met a person who could have become my best friend ever. Maybe the people that I am currently associating with now are the best that I hope to meet. As a freshman moving to a different country in a pandemic I’m sure I’m not alone in these thoughts. Television series based on teenage or young adult life show is that when you meet people, they are your friends, your group, rude or die. That is certainly not the case, friendship I would say is one of the more complicated relationships in life, they are the family that you can choose… so choose well

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

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.
