Applications of community

at the beginning, you seek communing as a service to yourself. people often look for people, people seek connection. and being new to a space you wait things out, navigate at your own pace to see how it serves you. but how long do you need to make a decision? of commiting to the community? it gets easier the more you do it, but only the beginning part. leaving is never easy. but yes, how long til you seek community as a service to others? when do you understand ownership and a non descriptive place in things? all world decisions are made by having a legitamate radar, a way to guage your place, and others’ places, and abiding by a set of morals.

lets compare this to CBC. at first, i sought out basketball as a form of self expression, status, and comparison. i gained some, but i also learned so much about my approach to turmoil - emotional, outbursts, a bottling up that wasn’t healthy - all because I sought out acceptance and excellence for who? for myself. frustration will always be an essential part of human experiences, but where we center them speaks volumes. After being consumed by a new identity and resonating with Bones of the Yeoman, and experiencing so much love and recognition, who am i to not be grateful? I truly and genuinely am. but now is time to recenter where frustration is sourced from, a devotion to community as a service to others. to community as a service to others.

don’t compare, just excel.
