After my post slash realisations on community, I realised I had been finding my own direction. What I can do in community doesn’t look like the lists that people share. And that’s ok.
My focus is on what I’m putting out there. Sharing my video game clips and timelapses, a little distraction when people want one. Commenting in chronic illness groups to remind people that it’s ok to put themselves first, to take care of themselves and the needs of their body. Messaging friends who need support. Collaborating on a reel for an awareness day. Trying to get better at sharing mutual aid.
My list won’t ever look like it’s “supposed to” for acts of community. So I’m making up my own. Acts that are accessible to me. And remembering that accessible includes sustainable.
