I’m always looking for community—a feeling of connectedness to others, where people listen to, try to understand, and care for one another in an open-hearted and open-minded environment.
This appears to be my life journey. It requires action and self-reflection—looking at who I am as a friend and becoming the friend I am looking for. Although the downside is feeling weary and overwhelmed from the energy required to make internal changes and to find and maintain connections, I feel grateful that my desire for meaningful engagement motivates me to try to be the best friend I can be and to see who or what might be behind the next door … and the next door … and the next door.
