THIS! I couldn’t articulate it better. I’ve struggled lately with feeling like finding/building my tribe is impossible. Especially locally. The way that I show up for others left me feeling drained because they weren’t showing up, but I was there…I was present. For me, I’m just looking for mutual effort. Plans change…yes. But if it’s always “sorry I can’t make it,” then how can we build that community? I want people that are going to take me out of my comfort zone, introduce me to new things. Introduce me to things you love so that I can show up in your space with respect and intention. I want a community of substance. (I can clearly go on, but I’ve said way more than I anticipated). I hope this season for you, gives you exactly what you’re looking for.

Thank you, somebody, who gets!!!Sometimes I’m stuck between wanting to try and just wanting not to be bothered by people. That’s why I’m looking to continue with a smaller group. I desire a bit more personability and less performative behavior in the following chapters of my life. I hope to see you at one of my events 🥰❤️

I understand this and it was worded so beautifully! I been craving more smaller circles, slower pace moments. I really believe there is so much beauty in that, taking time we can miss so much in rushing. I’ve also felt it is hard to build that community where it’s moving at a pace that is fits to who I am, doesn’t mean we have to be the same but more like minded people can be a bit hard to find.

I resonate with the proving I belong, as we get older we grow more into ourselves and mature, smooth over edges and become more whole. I love that we can feel great about not proving we belong to fit a particular space. It is going to be a great year of more intimate and lasting friendships based off on being who we are without faking it.

I think we are all in the same boat this year but they said 2025 was a year of shedding and 2026 is full velocity

I didn’t even know that, but it makes so much sense. Hopefully, we are done shedding and can find a little more peace.
