Social networks are great because they help me keep in touch with people. But sometimes I loathe them. And that particular instance is when you find out about a breakup through them – especially when it’s the breakup of people that you care a lot about.

Why does having an ocean between you automatically mean that calls and texts are expensive? It’s not fair. I don’t think these boundaries should exist. Why do I have to rely on the Internet to keep in touch with the people in my life?

I crave easy communication that’s more personal than typing.
