All of that still sounds really hard! But also I think I am doing some of it? One of the most challenging parts for me, I think, is the lack of instant gratification. It takes time for these little things to turn into finding meaningful relationships. Also, consistency is sooo important and just HARD. But I’m going to keep plugging away. Love you, friend!!

I love this post, Soooooo much. I can relate to it on a vibrational level of existence. I love the idea of being intentional in seeking community, and truly, what is a greater form of love than being intentional in seeking out camaraderie and fellowship, mirrors and reflectors, all the best parts of being together alone, and in a community. I think as hard as it is, the effort is always worth it and commendable. Keep inspiring.

There's a special place in my heart for online friendships I've made over the years—grateful for technology that enables us to bridge the distance.
