Connection is critical, and something we're all looking for. I've been a "loner" most of my life, but it's not something I'm proud of or gloat about. I'm fully aware that the best moments of my life are made with the help of others.
For years I've been continually exploring how to make more genuine connections through my passions, rather than circumventing or sabotaging these passions.
It is all about self-improvement and leaving the shackles of education behind us.
