ABOUT CONNECTIONS

Connection is the experience of oneness. It’s having shared experiences, relatable feelings, or similar ideas.

We are humans, born to connect. We are a tribal species. Connection is a core human need, but we often overlook its importance. In hectic times we do so many things that we easily forget about our real needs.

But what does a connection really mean? Connection is the experience of oneness. It’s having shared experiences, relatable feelings, or similar ideas. It is the feeling of belonging to something greater than oneself.

When you’re watching a film at the cinema with your friends, you’re experiencing connection. When you gather with your family for dinner or open up and express your authentic feelings to another person or find you have something in common with someone, you’re experiencing connection.

We’ve developed a world designed to create more connection than ever before, yet somehow, much of the digital age has severed connection or fostered inauthentic connection – which does not work. You cannot feign oneness. It is not something you intellectualise. It’s something you feel.

Meaningful connections are precious and demand special attention. It is consistent, everyday effort that makes a relationship extraordinary. Writing can be an easy personal act that helps keep them alive. Sometimes just a simple note next to your morning coffee or a positive thought captured in your notebook can make your day.

Enjoy writing and connecting.
