This conversation is a few years old but has some relevance as we begin to socialize again. In this period of isolation and social distancing, it’s easy to romanticize the depth of our connections, our social gatherings, and our intimate conversations. It’s a reminder that we still have something greater to strive for, we still have conversational depths that haven’t been broadly reached. As we slowly reconnect, let’s be more attentive, curious, and compassionate in our interactions with those we care for or even care less about.
