This is a hill I will die on— especially in 2026! For the love of all that is good and true PLEASE, GO OUT TO COMMUNITY EVENTS 💛💛💛 You will NOT regret it! I started going to community events about this time last year and it has changed my life for the better. I have met so many like minded, good people that are now my friends— just by going to events in my area 🌟 I started using social media to see what was going on in my city and (here’s the really important part) I went out to them! Usually by myself! And I talked to the people who sat next to me, basically! You may not meet your new BFF at every event you attend, but hey, you just might!! And regardless, being around new people and supporting local gatherings is such a net positive. I truly think it is what we need so much more of 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
