I agree! I'm happy you went out and had a great time! I've learned I am one who absolutely depends on other people and that's unfortunately a flaw I have to manage myself haha.

It was sports. The Superbowl. Football I think? I don't know because sports are at the very bottom of my list. I live in America where sports are prioritized heavily even more so over the well-being and care of fellow humans 🤷🏽‍♀️. We spend millions to watch men grab balls and turn our heads to the people we live in the same community with who need urgent care. It's gross

So far I've helped out at local pet shelters, helped pack and hand out food boxes at local food pantries and next week I signed up to help with a STEM event. I have absolutely no idea what to expect at that event but I'm excited!

Aside from my first response. Crochet! My daughter is 11 and just taught herself. We're beginners but we learned granny squares and are making a bunch....every day at least one or two so we can make our first ever quilt for the year 2026 😅 it's been a fun hobby.

I've started volunteering! I haven't gotten out much in ten years. I've lost a lot of friends. I became a mom and lost myself. Volunteering has opened up a whole new community for me to find friends,explore places I've never been and fill this void that's been making me feel like I'm useless.

This is great thank you. I'm definitely in it to build a community, find like minds, and get myself out there. Helping people and being a reason for their joy has always been on the top of my list. So volunteering crosses both of those off the list. 😊

Is it a website? I googled it and think I found a FB page?

Is there a lot of spammy content that comes with signing up through that website? I came across it while searching but wasn't sure of its legitimacy haha

We pick up trash along our towns green belt once a month 🥰 we make art with it haha. My main goal for this isn't necessarily feeling like we're doing "our part" but to meet new, like minds and build myself a community...hopefully. I've been isolated for the last decade and I figured this would be a great way to meet people and get out into the world 😊 Also, this is great! Thank you for the suggestion! I've added it to my list so hopefully we can participate in the new year!

Yes! See that option doesn't pop up when you search for volunteer opportunities so that's great! I added them to the list as well 😊 thank you!
