We are made for community. Local community. Online acquaintances are nice, but nothing replaces your local community—friends, family, neighbors, etc. If you’re not plugged into a community, life feels impossible really fast.

I agree. Do you have that where you are?

Yes and I am so grateful. Life would be much harder without it. We don’t have blood family nearby us, but we have built a close knit group of local friends throughout the years and we all know we can rely on each other when needed.

Yes. My wife has a big community, but I keep to my family, which I am sure is not great for me, but have found it really hard to connect with adults in the last 5-10 years.
