Our ancestors have survived so much worse. We are in no way doomed. We are much closer to liberation and to the end of US Empire than we have ever been. Keep the faith & stay the course.
The loneliness epidemic is too much of a reality for folks to be out here posturing like community means anything but a mutual investment.
Your two friends who donβt know each other but will invest in your safety and well-being is also a community. Make sure you nurture them.
Youβre going to see a lot of people talk about community and I want to remind you that community doesnβt mean big or large, it means people who are intentionally invested in your well-being.
Your friend group of two or three people is also a community.
the more you look inwards, the more you heal, the more you heal, the brighter your light becomes, the brighter your light becomes, the more unrecognizable youβll become to people who were only familiar with dim versions of who you used to be.
accept what needs to end and be open to what needs to change; you owe it to your future self to let the fullest, most authentic version of you come to fruition, even if it means losing what you thought was always meant to stay.
