Choosing Our Communities

Lots can be said about a community based on what’s important to them.

Some communities value internships, others value building things, while some value relationships.

Once you’re in these communities, it’s like getting trapped in a whirlpool, you can try to swim out but it’s inevitable. Most will get sucked in but the allure of prestige and social status.

Joining a community that doesn’t align with your values is an energy suck. But joinng a community that does feels magical.

We have agency over what communities we choose to join, but much less agency when we’re apart of that community.
