Helping those around you, supporting them, doing the things nobody else wants to do, these are all ways to strengthen your bond to your community! How can you expect others to show up for you if you donāt show up for others?

Def didnāt come up with this but the concept has been stuck in my head ever since I saw a Tik-Tok about itā¦āeveryone wants to have a village, no one wants to be a villagerā
Being in community with others relies on our time investments, financial investments, other resource investments, etc depending on what we can offerābut I truly believe we must offer SOMETHING when we can (when itās safe, not going to put you in harm, etc.)
When my neighbor asked me to cat sit I found it, admittedly, odd at first. (Being from a tight laced suburb does that to you) And was another thing I had to add my to agenda for the day. But I did it, because being a good neighbor is one of my core-est values. And now we always chat, wave, and I know I can count on them when Iām in need. Neighbor relationships are such a lost vestige š
We are all we really have. Now more than EVER! Let yourself be a villager, even if it means itās a little annoying to have more people know they can rely on you, the feel-good of it will always outweigh the inconvenience.

my friend was visiting and asked me to help her with the merch booth she was working. and it brought me so much joy.
in these current horrors, help your friends.
you know what other things bring joy to my life? going grocery shopping with my friends. driving people to the airport. reading books beside each other in coffee shops. helping someone find an obscure pepper paste in town. selling shirts at a country show. trying to find an obscure theory book together for book club. sitting on someone's kitchen floor while they do dishes.
you can't complain about the lack of community you experience without being apart of your immediate community, the small things happen to be the most fun and rewarding things to be a part of. support your loved ones.

Start small. Joy as an act of resistance. Take care of your neighbor, your friends, everyone around you. They canāt take everything from you.

Builds character, confidence, and discipline. The only person in charge of your mess is you! When you get home you can turn the performance off! Naked time anytime!
