Thank you Jon Bellion. After hearing the song below, I am inspired to create meaningful conversations and connections with people offline.
Too many connections are built on social media, but I prefer to have conversations in person and on the phone. In 2019, I aim to have a different conversation every day with a different person and document my experiences. Every conversation helps alter my personality and perception of the world in one way or another.
