communicating

i was thinking today about why i feel so off and i realized, i havent been communicating with as many people as i do in america. I think i realized i have taken advantage of the simple idea of talking to people in the past, even the check out lady at the grocery store. it is hard not to even be able to ask how someones day is going. there is something about interaction with another person that give me energy. i have a lack of that here right now, because i do can not speak a lot of french. I would like that to change, and feel it needs to, to bring better spirits into my studio.
