It’s Complicated…
I have started re-evaluating my relationship with Zoom. It isn’t Zoom’s fault. Zoom had been loyal and reliable. I didn’t want to leave Zoom for another platform, just another medium, like, maybe a book.
As I was about to give Zoom with the, “It’s not you, it’s me” talk, I had a realization: Zoom is the only thing that gives me a connection, however tenuous, to other people. And even though I only see a part of them and hear a facsimile of their voice, it’s something. It’s something that reminds me there are still people out there who want to engage and keep connected to me and other humans.
I don’t know what the future holds for our relationship (we’ve tacitly agreed not to discuss it), but I’ve resolved to practice some self-care, including some alone time.
