Welcome to the Freethought Forum
|
The lofty high Renaissance and marked mannerism. The heavy and ornate Baroque era, followed by the gentle Rococo. Harsh neo-classicism, rich romanticism, lush naturalism, stern realism, blurred impressionism. Heady surrealism, blockish cubism, postwar Dada, pointy-cornered art deco and cookie cutter Bauhaus. Let us skip the dreariness of the past half century and arrive finally at FF Style.

 Where My People At? |

While I was at the local bookstore tonight I noticed a book signing was about to start, so I Googled the book and author and both looked interesting. The book is “Belong”, by Radha Agrawal, and is subtitled “Find your people, create community & live a more connected life”.
Given that my big plan for Friday night was to find a book to read over the weekend, I thought I might as well find out more about what she had to say. I’m really glad I stayed because Radha’s comments about the epidemic of loneliness and social isolation really resonated with me.
She made the group do a little social interaction exercise in the beginning and (as I told her when she signed my newly-purchased book) it was more interaction with strangers (who I didn’t work with) than I have had since moving to Austin over 10 years ago.
I've been feeling pretty alone in meatspace for a long time so I'm hoping to learn a thing or two about how to find/build community.
