It's so true and so relatable. Talk is sometimes the most important part to the day. Those connections mean so much to them and sometimes we're the only ones that listen to them.

I have been doing this lately, too. I need to focus and connect more with my teachers. I've been so busy accomplishing tasks rather than focusing my attention on what really matters.
