In a world that’s terrifyingly small and connected and where now gossip doesn’t need to be limited to streets or apartment buildings and where everyones business is public knowledge now…it was terrifying how disconnected one can feel despite all these seemingly meaningful connections.
It’s been a long few weeks. With ill health in the family, I did what I did best- retreated into a zone, put my head down and just did what was necessary to ensure everything was okay (as much as I could).
There was work. There were meetings. There were clients. And there was home and family and the hospital. And it was almost like these worlds were completely exclusive of each other…
And that’s when I realised the important connections and most importantly the important disconnections…
Life is not about the likes and the happy emojis or even the angry or sad emoticons… it’s about the actual connections…
If you haven’t heard from someone for a week or 2… do you pick up the phone and check on them? If you haven’t connect with a ‘friend’ how long do you wait till you call/ connect/ visit…. Or do you wait for the shallow ‘Status Updates’ or PR Related FB Posts?
How long is too long where friendships are concerned to be out of touch?
And when did Facebook replace actual face time…?
Any way on a positive note– #allswellthatendswell ! And I’m back on FB and my Blog now :)!
