For my Tweeties



Lately, I've gotten caught up in the whirlwind that is social media....esp. Twitter.

I spend a good portion of my days tweeting random things or engaged in full-on conversations. And perhaps one of the most positive things which have happened as a result is that I have grown closer to people whom I knew in passing for the most part and have learnt to appreciate them in ways I probably would never have had it not been for the daily banter shared through Twitter.

The site facilitated conversation without the pressure of having a statement directed at you all the time while allowing you to gain an understanding of people's quirks, likes, dislikes and habits. But above all, it opened a door for me to engage with amazing persons who will I am sure do great things one day. But Twitter or not one principle remains the same, getting out there (whether in a tangible space or on something less so like a timeline) you'd be truly surprised at how much more enriched your life will become because of the people you interact with.

Sociology nerd footnote: this is one aspect of globalization (i.e increase in mediums and ease of communication) that I will definitely not complain about :)
