7. Resolution Series #3: Being Alone in an Era of Interconnectedness
Description
To bring the Resolution Series to a close, I address a topic that has always been of interest to me: being able to be alone. Learning how to be alone when you're constantly connected through text messaging, social media, and emails can be really difficult and easy to avoid doing.
It's amazing that in this day and age, we are able to almost always be in communication with someone. Despite this, I find it not only important, but necessary, that people learn how to enjoy their own company. It's easy to distract yourself with fun plans and social outings, but it can be unhealthy if you find yourself relying on others to live your life. Learning how to be alone isn't learning to cope with loneliness–it's learning how to achieve a deeper sense of connection with yourself.
