ID by @iamhisgloriouspurpose: eight screen caps of a woman as she speaks the following words:
"Everyone wants a village, but no one wants to be a villager."
That means people want a strong community for support, but they are not willing to put in the effort and sacrifice required to be a part of it.
Being annoyed is the price we pay for connection and community.
It can mean sharing space when itâs inconvenient, showing up when youâd rather stay home, or hosting when youâre tired.
Somewhere along the way, our fear of discomfort turned into hyper-independenceâstrict boundaries, perfect routines, and no interruptions.
But when our boundaries become too rigid, they stop protecting us and start isolating us. They become walls.
And we wonder why we feel so lonely. Weâre paying for convenience with disconnection.
We traded the messiness of community for the ease of solitude and lost something vital along the way. (End)
