It's easy to connect with someone. What happens next is the hard part

Introducing Mic's newest section: Connections. "Connecting with another human being can be shockingly easy in the digital age," writes Mic Connections editor Ellie Krupnick. "Whether it's through texting, 'liking,' tweeting, Vine-ing, Snapchatting, reblogging or, you know, making actual human eye contact (yes, it still happens), we are forming links between one another all the time, deeply embedded in each other's lives and headspaces." "But defining and understanding those relationships? That is an eternal human struggle, one we face now more than ever. Unmasking and confronting this challenge is the mission of Mic's newest section: Connections."
