The energy that exists between beings when they feel seen, heard, and valued. When they can freely give and receive without judgment. When they derive sustenance and nourishment from the relationship. It’s a bridge between souls that surpasses mere interaction. It’s an energy that weaves through the human experience. 

In the vast expanse of our digital world, we have been granted boundless connectivity. Yet why do I find myself standing at the intersection of a paradox? Amongst the abundance of virtual opportunities, why does this sense of utter disconnect exist? 

Perhaps the instruments crafted for connection now serve as cloaks, masking genuine understanding.

Maybe the constant stimulation has desensitized the beauty of reality.

Have the algorithms of connection outpaced the resonance of genuine human interaction? 

Regardless, I yearn for the authenticity that blossoms when hearts are laid bare, unburdened by judgment. 

I have learned to navigate this path. But the ache remains for the unspoken nourishment that comes from relationships where souls intertwine, offering a substance that transcends the superficial. 

Simply yours, Ky
