RE: Simple Secrets to Happiness #9: YOU CAN'T DO IT ALONE
This is really beautiful and I share your sentiments. There is a deficit in community for most people (at least in the USA it seems) and that can only be remedied by forging strong community bonds. Thanks for this <3
Yes, it's sad how little people I know here in the Ozarks after moving three years ago. People generally keep to themselves, even here in the southern states. Steemit helps me feel a little more human, and satisfies that need for connection. Not saying we don't need some local live-person type community, but it's a start.
yes, i started off perhaps wanting to join an ecovillage, but that is a little too close of community (live in as you say) for my liking. we, too, live in the ozarks and have found neighbors 15 min away that we really like is super ideal. many people live 30-60 min away, but they too are our neighbors and we need them in our lives. so glad steemit is fulfilling that niche for you. it's invigorating me, too :)
