But face time -- like real breathing face time-- seeing someone in person NOT on an iPhone -- can never be substituted. And I need to remember this when I'm with people, friends, family, whomever, and tempted to check my phone for updates.
This was reiterated this weekend when I met some wonderful people that I've tweeted with and emailed with a lot the past few months.
Turns out they're way more wonderful in person.

so true, being with people is more important than knowing what's going on via Twitter/Facebook. Thanks for the reminder :) isn't community great?!

ReplyDeleteIt really is hard to disconnect from technology, but I completely agree that there is nothing better than being face to face with someone and having a real conversation, versus an almost one-sided convo over the internet. I hope to meet all of those amazing creative women at some point in the future! It looks like you had a blast!
