Friendship Famine.

True 

human experience

happens

not necessarily 

because

you're

smarter

but

deeper.

*

Thanks to iPhones, Facebook, Twitter and the blogosphere,

it is 

easier than ever

to 

feel connected

yet,

to be 

disconnected.

Counting up 

followers and 'friends'

who shoot boxes of comments and strings of emoticons

is not the same as 

sitting across 

them,

seeing

 their smiles, 

hearing 

their laughter and sighs

and

knowing

 they're listening 

to your innermost concerns.

Sometimes,

you can find 

empathy, love and care -

all without the help of 

words.

Often,

what is 

authentic

is

more than 

feeling the

friendly chemistry

between our screens.

It is about

being

engaged

with somebody,

heart to heart.

When's the last time

you were in a 

true-human-experience

where you felt the 

warmth 

and 

unspoken peace

of 

a friendship?

Time to hit the BRB 

and

go out.

Let's

get deeper.
