I do miss a sense of community and/or being part of a group. I'm not sure what that means to me, I've always been pretty much a loner, much more a satellite of a group than part of a group; more of an afterthought than part of the plan. But that's not even true anymore.
I don't know why communities fade in and out of my life like ghosts. I like the feel of them, but I'm not one to stay in one. Story of my life. I still feel and appreciate aspects of this world, I just don't want to participate or put the effort into participating in them.
