Its amazing how life likes to bite you in your pelvic area then sends you to the proverbial 6-star hospital.

In the age of gobalization, communication is merely a touch of a button away. Cellphones, satellites, 3G technology, voicemail, videocalls, webcams. We manage to interconnect the whole world through digital breakthroughs, no matter the distance, no matter the location. 

Sadly, this doesn't substitute the euphoria one experiences with actual physical contact. We spill our hearts over artifical machines while in the back of our mind, we wonder what the opposite party truly feels about things. Without the actual witnessing of a person's expression, genuine or misguided, everything just feels artificial.
Relationships become artifical. Then friendship sort of just doesn't feel the same

In addition, digital technology leaves the mind with much to obsess about. If messages can be sent so easily, why doesn't he/she talk to me more often. Why do all online conversations bites the dust, leading aimlessly in no direction. Why can't we truly express ourselves online?

In the age of communication, its ironic that we can still feel so disconnected with one another.
