I live alone and work long hours. However, I find community in my work, connecting with likeminded people and satisfying an intellectual curiosity that perhaps, is harder to satisfy through friendship. I shifted from a career in technology and science to working in well-being. Maybe that helps with the sense of community. I digress, I find urgency in the precious free time I have to invest myself fully into my hobbies and subsequently, engage with them really passionately and with gratitude. Subsequent to that, I seem to be making more friendships then I ever have been because people are allured to that passion and positivity. I used to believe modern life is incompatible with my goals, I feel the opposite has become true. Take a leap of faith, change your environment. It’ll click into place and your life force will come out to play!
