In a room full of souls desperate to connect, we are blocked by a wall of alternative reality.

A world where we don't have to think. It's easier -- but is it better? 

How many more conversations would we have?
How many have we already missed?

How much closer would we allow ourselves to get to people if there wasn't an easy escape -- an outlet that lets the mind drift somewhere else?
 

Somewhere not in the present. 

Somewhere that takes away the very thing our souls long for most

Genuine presence.

True intimacy.

​

And maybe the scariest part isn't that we are alone, but that we are together and still choosing elsewhere.
