I love your take on this. Honestly, convenience for me has a lot to do with it. I come from a small family and friend group everyone lives in different states. It’s caused a true disconnection. FaceTimes and calls are sweet but it never feels “enough.” Still so much to unpack. But, I fantasize of being in a town where I could have the experiences of everyone feeling free to come on by.
“Do people actually want connection, or do they want convenience?” I will have to ponder this for myself. Am I seeking convenience but calling it connection/community? 🖤
"You can't hide and expect to be seen." This hit me deep. I struggle with feelings of loneliness or thinking no one wants me around; so much so that I isolate and stay to myself. I want such rich and deep connections but it's hard for me to get out of my head. Thank you for writing this.
