Abstract

The essays in this collection explore the resistance to and simultaneous need for human connections. In order to illustrate this concept, I use myself as an example of an individual who both longs for and despises her dependence on other people in order to support and define her. The essays are not presented in a traditional chronological format, but instead reflect the chronology of my own realization of the theme of this work. The essay titles are drawn from popular music, intended to mimic the contents of an MP3 player, which reflects the owner's personality, wants and needs. The structure was also chosen as a comment on the effect the fast-moving world of technology has had on me as a writer and a person.
