Data about myself over the next 10 years
Over the past few years, I have been lucky enough to cross paths with people who have changed my life in wondrous ways. The old adage about the company you keep has rung true in my life, and for better or for worse, these people have been weaved into the fabric of my person. Each encounter, each persona leaves their mark on my character and unravels a side of me that I didn’t know existed. But, as life goes on, people move away for reasons that range from personal to professional. The quintessential act of “moving on” could be metaphorical or otherwise, although I do count myself among those that has mostly dealt with the former.This brings in an entire dimension about remaining in touch. Busy schedules and coordination challenges leave us without the ability to communicate with those we love. As a person who has had to watch this process unfold, I would like to assess through a systematic study of the data, as to what our reasons for shelving our necessary interactions with our confidantes are. Over the next 10 years, it perhaps becomes more important that I invest and nurture my existing relationships and foster new ones in an effort to have a healthy social life. Perhaps, important questions about my priorities will come to light as result of studying the data that is generated through the course of 10 years . Those interests that leave me bereft of social interaction, could be managed well enough to navigate the complexity that relationships entail. Needless to say, it would be surreal to have data and it’s study being about a resurgence in our intimate relations with people that we care about. It is perhaps, a stepping stone towards answering questions that allow us to build a society that doesn’t condone isolation of individuals in the pursuit of personal success.
