"But friendship isn't an extra -
it's really important for our mental and physical health."
Jess Johnson/Amy Weatherly
COVID spread the experience of isolation on differing levels to a cross section of humans. The decline in participation of social activities and restrictions with community resources, led to the shrinking of our personal worlds.
Yes, texting was available and for a greater sense of recognition there was the opportunity to Zoom. Perhaps, at first, we might have enjoyed the new slower pace of living. We may even have felt it to be comforting, until it was not.
As we find our way back to personal exchanges, we may benefit by expanding our resources. Community college offerings, library book clubs or local artist workshops, offer opportunities to expand our self-awareness while creating new connections.
