There’s no real excuse for feeling lonely - community is always closer than it seems.
Today I ran a half marathon, and just by showing up, I found myself surrounded by kindness, energy, and connection.
It’s easy to think belonging is hard to find. But often, it’s just one sign-up, one event, one moment of courage away

And I really do mean any kind of community, as long as it’s a group where you feel supported. I was raised without religion, largely, but I decided to start going to a church near me in March. I was feeling lost and lonely and I figured it was worth a shot. Everyone has been so, so welcoming and kind. I even got baptized last Sunday. It’s been fulfilling feeling like I’m part of something bigger than just myself, like I’m part of a larger group that I can belong to. I don’t think it has to be a religious organization, I think you can find meaningful human connection anywhere - You just have to step outside your door and go looking for it. Find a local library to hang around, small music events, anywhere where there’s people like you!

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…….

🧱these two things have been huge for helping me get a healthy level of community. oh there’s an event that looks cool that you saw on socials? go. don’t have anyone to go with? didn’t ask. you’ll meet cool people there.
someone is putting on something or invited you to come with them to something? you’re going. oh you don’t know that person super well? don’t care. you’re going to get to know them now.
being introverted just means you need a balance of socializing and solitude, but you don’t get community in isolation. if a door opens to you and it seems cool, don‘t deny yourself an experience! approaching it with the mindset of going to build community and meet people and broaden your horizons will get you far.

Took myself out on a solo date, part of a monthly challenge to try something fun and new on my own.
Would recommend getting to know yourself.

I absolutely love her music! My favorite thing is to play it in the background while crafting with friends—it sets the perfect vibe.
I’ll never forget the first time I heard one of her songs. I was in my local H&M, and it came on while I was in the changing room. I had to Shazam it right then and there! No jeans were bought that day, but at least I discovered one of my favorite artists.
