“Introspection means talking to yourself, and one of the best ways of talking to yourself is by talking to another person. One other person you can trust, one other person to whom you can unfold your soul. One other person you feel safe enough with to allow you to acknowledge things—to acknowledge things to yourself—that you otherwise can’t. Doubts you aren’t supposed to have, questions you aren’t supposed to ask. Feelings or opinions that would get you laughed at by the group or reprimanded by the authorities. This is what we call thinking out loud, discovering what you believe in the course of articulating it. But it takes just as much time and just as much patience as solitude in the strict sense. And our new electronic world has disrupted it just as violently. Instead of having one or two true friends that we can sit and talk to for three hours at a time, we have 968 “friends” that we never actually talk to; instead we just bounce one-line messages off them a hundred times a day. This is not friendship, this is distraction.”

Menurut gw, bukunya biasa aja. Meski begitu bukan berarti nggak ada bagian yang bagus. Tetep ada yang bagus, tetep ada hikmah yang bisa diambil. Salah satunya kutipan di atas. Udah gitu aja. Gw juga bingung ini posting mau dikasih judul apa. Secara kualitasnya lebih pantas dijadikan status sosmed, dan gw lagi males nyetatus di sana haha
