Prompt #30 How do I connect to others?

I don’t really understand what this prompt means…  but the way I connect with others is by talking or communication like texting, facebook, instagram, kakao talk, email, or letters.

How most people connect with each other is by talking to each other face to face.  When people talk to each other, they are pretty much connecting.  Any kind of talk is connecting.  People can be screaming at each other, although that is not a very positive kind of connection, it is still a connection.  Or they can chit chat and talk about anything, aimless things, like what did they eat for dinner, their favorite color, their new shoes, outfit or even the weather and they can talk about serious things.  For me, I am shy and really awkward, especially in the beginning of a conversation and especially with unfamiliar people, but when I am in a familiar and comfortable, I can be really weird and maybe even more awkward.

A really popular way of connecting with others is using the Internet.  Using sites like facebook, have really helped people to connect with others especially if they cannot see and talk to each other face to face.  Facebook can connect to people from other cities, states, countries, and continents!  It is a really convenient way because not only can we message each other, its totally free.  We don’t have to pay for like long distance messaging~ so its a lot easier than sending letters, which take way too long to receive and also talking on the phone, which can be costly if you talk for a long time.  Another good thing about facebook is that we can post pictures that we can show are friends.

Other popular ways of connecting with others is by using instagram, which where you can post pictures that your other friends can see.  But the one thing, that I use the most to connect with others is an app called Kakao Talk.  Kakao can be used by ipod, iphone, and android.  I like it because it’s like texting but we can send these like silly looking emoticons and also send each other pictures or video and even voice notes to each other.  We can also have group chats or we can just talk to another person.

But my favorite way to connect to other people is by playing with them, like going to the movies or going out to lunch.  When we play, we are always in a group and we like to go everywhere.  Unfortunately, Saipan is really small, so we have a very very limited amount of places to go.  We don’t even have a mall. Boooo~
