The problem with our overly connected society...

I have this problem and I can't post or tweet about it. It's one of those things that I'm going to have to figure out privately without the help of every person I've crossed paths with in the last 25 years. It's the kind of problem that involves a certain level of thought and prayer (if you believe in that kind of thing) and patience and quiet and soul-searching. In the process of trying to figure things out, one thing has become abundantly clear: I forgot how nice it was to be truly alone. Alone with my thoughts. Alone with me. The level of connection we're used to has rid our society of the ability to be comfortable alone.
