This essay got really long and I just wanted to get it out there because I know several of my friends could relate, but there was so much more I wanted to say. I too love crowds. I don't mind rubbing shoulders with strangers. I am a weird extrovert/introvert, who is energized by people but needs my time alone, so I am already hard to please in regards to socialization. But I do love that LA is big - most of the time - and I really do find this as a struggle no matter where I am. Big city or small town, it's just a human struggle. <br /><br />Can't wait to see you and Mary again!Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10002878553856506526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587953922704029833.post-1727945332475362532013-06-07T08:53:54.851-07:002013-06-07T08:53:54.851-07:00Bailey, it was great meeting you at the Mizzou eve...Bailey, it was great meeting you at the Mizzou event last night. These are beautiful, heartfelt words. I think many of us can relate. I love this city, but it's true, one can feel lonely sometimes even in a throng of people.<br /><br />Personally, I love the crowds. I love being alone in a crowd. I derive tremendous energy from it. I used to say I would avoid the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica becuase it's full of tourists. But, I've come to appreciate the richness of the human condition and the tapestry of colors and smells and expressions I see there. <br /><br />I admit I don't have an easy answer for you. But you're probably not looking for someone to fix things. I will be your friend, and I know my wife really enjoyed spending time with you last night as well.<br /><br />Props for putting yourself out there and being authentic.johnnynohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15448587991306866377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587953922704029833.post-66986393081334308732013-06-04T21:54:53.289-07:002013-06-04T21:54:53.289-07:00Thanks, Nance!

She would so appreciate it. Like you touched on, people like to be heard and understood without feeling like their friends or family members have somewhere else to be. Think of how many times a day a homeless person is blatantly ignored. Sad, really. They are human beings with thoughts and feelings.<br /><br />As for the community group stuff, don't curse me, but I think you should at least try it ... again. There's something to be said for having an in-town group of go-to people. If the community group disappoints you or isn't the right fit, then make your own community group that is committed to meeting regularly for that purpose. Just my $0.02.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849476952557212016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587953922704029833.post-39163251998186096012013-06-03T15:16:29.978-07:002013-06-03T15:16:29.978-07:00So many great thoughts...Thanks for posting. I so...So many great thoughts...Thanks for posting. I so agree with your concerns that people often are not present, not relating or even noticing others, even at church! Not to ruin this by giving advice, I just want to share that I believe the most people are lonely and don't have the skills or initiative to form community. I love your idea of intentionally planning a community! Once again I am posting as anonymous since I can't figure out what to do...See if you can figure it out! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
