RE: How things and people can come together when you least expect it
Yes! We are absolutely changing shit up!! I, too, was/am always the weirdo! Always been my preference to be the weirdo as opposed to the lemming, but it does make finding community and developing relationships hard. I was manifesting community hardcore for quite some time, and I never expected it to come like this, but here it is, and it's such a gem. More than I ever could have expected!
Yes @solarsupermama, I guess the weirdos all found each other here lol. I had the same, even as a teen I didn't really care too much about fitting in. I used to go to a school with all these posh kids, children of lawyers, judges, doctors etc. and I kinda made it into a sport to go against them. If one said they hated girls with more than just one earring in each ear, I would have extra earrings the next week lol. The few friends I had accepted me for who I was and that was enough. But you're right, it's hard to find a community that way. I never really needed a community, but now that I'm a bit older (and supposed to be grown up lol) and have kids, that need has presented itself more. So yeah, same here, surprising it manifests in this way.
My college was like that. All these kids driving Lexus and Mercedes. Our little group was small but we were tight. That's where I developed my catchphrase. "Nothing like being surrounded by fascists to turn you from a liberal to a radical." So grateful for this community. It's on my gratitude list every day.
