Finding the right balance of being aware of grim realities in our world and being able to carry that weight while still staying optimistic is something I believe we need more of. Of course I understand the sense of hopelessness and overall pessimistic outlook many have, especially when a series of seemingly unended negative events happens... And I don't blame them for it. But we need hope, we need optimism, it's had and requires a certain sense of bravery to hold onto that. It's honestly something I admire about you, Bonito. So hold onto that, I believe strongly it will help many people around you if it hasn't already.
Great article! I have been thinking a lot recently about how social VR can be used as an escape or a way to disconnect from reality. At the same time I have seen it be an amazing way to connect with other people, share new ideas and get new perspectives. It is also one of my favorite places to get inspired by people's amazing creativity. I think there is a balance to be found and making sure you are using it with intention.
I love your ideas on taking all those great things we get out of social VR and bringing them back into the real world 💚 Its a great way to start bridging the gap between these two worlds

Thank you Jo that means so much <3 I'm sure we can find the balance and I'm glad I'm not alone in trying to do both

Yes! It's such a great tool for connection & collaboration! It would be great if that were easier IRL. Thank you for reading 💚
