Hi friends, How are you doing? I’m writing this from a rainy bank holiday weekend which is seeing me muse on the idea of connection. Last weekend (another bank holiday weekend) I spent time with good friends in a cabin in Hampshire. We talked non-stop, ate top tier snacks, sang at the top of our lungs and played many games of rummikub.
You said the words at the end before I could get to the comment. Coffee - yes, sign me up!
I was just having this conversation with a friend this week who live up North as I whinged into a voice note that AI wished she lived closer. I travel to see all of my friends, but I do wish I had more local connections. No big thing, but just someone I could message and meet locally without having to consider calendars months in advance. But, have car, will travel for connection, so would love to have a coffee with you!
I know it's not the same, but it does make me very grateful for all the online forms of connection possible, and for digital connection via voice notes. I use those for daily and weekly connection and they both really have firm places in my calent and my day for connection too.
I right in thinking you’re London-based? If so, that’s a quick train ride away for me, I’ll pop you a DM somewhere ❤️ you’re so right about digital connections too, I really need to get on board the voice note train, think I could benefit from more vocal chats ☺️ x
I'm navigating similar feelings at the moment and this was a breath of fresh air to read! Thank you.
I love that you are consciously seeking the specific community you need and I hope to do more of the same - you've inspired me to stay focused on it :)
