FaceTime

I absolutely love Face Time. In reality, I don't love looking at my own face or having to hold a camera so close to it, but I do love the faces on the other side of the screen. Every Sunday it is tradition in my family to FaceTime. I love FaceTime so much because while I talk to these family members more than just once a week through calling or texting, I always love at least one time to see them. I feel that it really makes a difference to be able to see peoples faces and be able to connect with them even when you are far apart from them. While being at school, I always feel closer to my parents after our FaceTime calls because I feel that I have a more honest and intimate conversation with them. Also, I feel like FaceTime allows us to be more vulnerable or more open to conversations and I feel that whether I am actually venting or just talking to them, I always feel better after these calls. How amazing is technology that we are now able to do this on a device that we can carry around with us at all times. It is amazing how much the cell phone has changed in my lifetime and to be honest, I don't feel that I am as appreciative as I should be. So, I just wanted to say how appreciative I am for this technology and how much it really has made a difference in my life.
