BOOK CLUBS!
I just started a book club with a friend today and even tho the idea has only been in the air for a couple of hours I LOVE IT! It has brought so much joy into my life!
Maybe we need more community building opportunities?

society is definitely in need of more community now more than ever. the need for individuality was needed to “find” ourselves but i truly do believe you can always ”find” yourself in groups. i love that you opened up a book club, do you ever see yourself starting an online book club to expand and reach to others?

Onyi_Budds could not agree more! Community & community building are important in our society! Yes! You definitely do learn more about yourself in community spaces. it also helps you grow & its nice seeing how others communicate/interact within the space. the idea of an online bookclub does sound really cool! & something I would love to start or be a part of someday. I do think the only issue I would have would be scheduling time to meet that fits everyones agenda but definitely not out of the picture.

Me and two other friends started one in October and we’re already on our 5th book! I LOVE book club. Reading is sexy, and it’s sexy to talk books If you do it with friends, I recommend “round robin” when deciding the book of the month. We have an order of who gets to choose the book and it divides the duty of picking a book plus it’s fun to be exposed to books we wouldn’t have normally picked up!

greenfriedrice 5 books since OCT! That’s amazing! Reading is SO SEXY! Oo okay! I’ll suggest it! definitely agree it’s cool to lean and read books you normally wouldn’t pick up. Also I feel that you can learn so much from someones choice of book(s).

i've been playing around with the idea of doing a cookbook club, similar vibes to book club but choosing a recipe from the book and then doing a dinner party potluck night.

Create a book club with Friends

Reading has been a source of mental solace and a leisure for the mind to find joy in. With the rise of social media one can feel overwhelmed with constant visual resonance and become distant from their inner poet. Create a book club for friends, family or your partner to seek refuge and relaxation with one another. If finding friends seems to be an obstacle start by creating one online ❤️. For anyone interested in starting a book club or being in one why don’t you all find yourselves in the comment section :)

Joining book clubs

I am apart of about 3 different book clubs between work and my friends. I have a hard time picking out books to read so it helps to just have one set up, and it’s nice to have a chat about the books. they are super easy to join too :) or just make one with your friends

BUILDING THE COMMUNITY YOU CRAVE

saw this at library n I thought it was very pi coded. if you’re feeling lonely and isolated in the neighborhood around you, or just see potential that isn’t being utilized, I think this is such an amazing way to put thought into action!!!!!!!
functional adult community building has mostly devolved into facebook groups and I’m glad if that brings ppl together in some ways —— but what if we didn’t need zuck and found each other and made each others lives richer…….

Skipping!

Why are we not skipping everywhere? It’s so much fun and just shows a good attitude towards life!
Like skipping to class, while listening to music in the park! Make life feel like la la land (not the movie)!

How did i end up this way?

I recently deleted instagram along with all my meta apps and TikTok due to them being owed by billionaires or being used to benefit them. And as much as I hate to say it… I fell lost? But how has an app become such a large part of my identity 🤮? I know morally it’s the right thing to do (at least for me) but what do I do w so much “free” time. Maybe it’s the idea of sitting w my thoughts that’s so bothersome? Also why am I having a mental breakdown over not sharing my life or FOMO?
