Tragically, we’ve replaced conversation with excessive, abrupt, often-abrasive communication via text, email, or social media. When I was a young woman in my twenties, you couldn’t break up with a guy (or be broken up with) by text, and you couldn’t send your best friend an angry email or post your emotions on Facebook or Twitter.
