But when you really open your eyes, there's a million potential connections that we all just blow by every day. And I think when you put yourself out there in the world in places and circumstances that are really "you", these emerge. Like if you had a dog and you were always at the dog park or the pet store, if you were really into music and you were always at the local venues or record stores, or if you just really like hanging out at a particular park or whatever. I'm not even saying starting up conversations out of nowhere with strangers, things just come up. And once you're even a little bold, your confidence starts to go up.
