If you haven't noticed, this year has gone by in a blur. We live in a place where we have the rest of the world at our fingertips at all times. Advancements in technology have indeed come a long way, but this step forward has made our face-to-face interacting with our fellow human beings fall behind in this race of life. The social aspect of life has changed from handshakes and going out for lunch to friend requests and chat rooms. How many times do we catch ourselves saying something online that we would never say in real life? As humans we look for the fastest, most painless way to get from point A to B, which is detrimental to our mental health. We need human interaction, but instead we replace it with too much time staring at a screen. It's like eating vanilla ice cream every day. You can put on any kind of topping you want, and get the newest and most expensive sprinkles, but you're still not getting what you really need from that ice cream. If we can remember to take time to remember the real people in our lives and not spend so much time in a permanent sense of haste, then we can become a healthier, happier person.
