“Food doesn't taste better or worse when documented by Instagram. 
Laughter is as genuine over Skype as it would be sharing a sofa. 

Pay attention. 
Take in nature, hold someone’s hand, read a book. 

But don’t ever apologize for snapping a photo of a sunrise after a hike, or blogging about the excitement of having a crush, or updating your goodreads account. All of these things are good and should be celebrated. 

Smile at strangers on the sidewalk and like your friends’ selfies. 
It’s all good for the human spirit.”
