I am in pursuit of genuine connection. In a year where I cannot be around people often, I find myself trying to make connections. But it is harder than ever to do so. Technology has given many of us the ability to connect, but is it genuine? I started off the year telling myself I would be on my phone less, until it felt as if choosing to use technology in fewer amounts meant losing connection to friends, world events, and even school. Will we remember what it means to be genuine? How can I find and make connections now?
