Hello There, Human

Hello there, Human. I'm Julia, the founder of the Hello There Human. I'm not a communication specialist, I'm not a  psychotherapist or a social worker out to share my great expertise on why human-to-human connection is important. I have very little expertise in the field of human connection. Except that I long for more of it myself. As I'm graphic artist, I have spent many years hiding away in my cave all day in front of a computer. And as a declared introvert,  I cling to my smartphone, my tablet and my TV avoiding eye-contact with the outside world. So for the most part, a majority of my social interactions have been online. Facebook gets checked daily, if not hourly at times. And that existence can be very quiet and a bit lonely in my world as a graphic designer hiding away in her cave.

The thing is I love to connect with people. For me, nothing beats a long walk with a friend and losing track of time and distance because we're immersed in great conversation. Nothing beats sitting down for coffee with a client and for a moment, finding ourselves straying from the project discussion and laughing as we share funny stories about our children's antics. And nothing beats a brief exchange of a sincere smile and a thank you when a stranger sees me with my rambunctious 4 year old and lets me in front of them in line.  Nothing beats human-to-human connection. 

​Those connections seem more rare and  becoming harder to create. And for the longest time, I assumed it was just me, but now realize I'm not the only one who struggles to create deeper connections with others.
