It can feel like navigating every day life can be challenging, and that brought me to find some way outside of wifi, and away from comparing myself to others, as I looked for a way to connect with the world around us.
The AI Revolution
I could remember as a child being out past dark just riding my bike and playing hopscotch with friends. A daily trip to the corner store, a conversation or two with store owners, it felt as though people made time for one another.
