I miss having people around in my house. This is unrelated to the quarantine, but has been really amplified by it. People either visiting our living with me who are just a presence to talk to and interact with while I go about my work. They can certainly join in if they'd like, but it's not necessary. I really want someone around to talk to while I do my thing and they are doing their thing. Sit on the bed and chat while I fold laundry. Have a cup of tea or coffee and play a video game while I do dishes. Work on your own craft while I finish up a plant holder that's been sitting around for years. . . My current craft that's been a UFO (UnFinished Object) for too long. . . . . . . . . . . . . #ADHD #pandemicthoughts #communalliving #daydreaming https://www.instagram.com/p/B-2rkUTDJZc/?igshid=lel3vszkh5o0

Living Communally

What does it mean to live communally? I have my ideas. I have beautiful visions of shared childcare, cooking and eating food together, multi-family gardens, cooperatively owned businesses. And all of those things feel very doable right now from where I am in life. But whether my ideas are too far fetched or we live too far away from others (my anxiety tells me that it’s me), it seems that others don’t see this beautiful vision, or that others are unwilling to share this way of life with my family.

I know 9-5 life is exhausting, and I know that people’s lives are full. But I struggle when people don’t return messages, or continually reschedule play dates. Is it society or is it me? Am I the one who always needs to initiate contact because I’m needy or because other people are legitimately too busy? Is it my social anxiety or is it capitalist culture? From where I am, it’s hard to see, and I am filled with self-doubt.

Social media has shown me that I’m not the only one who has these dreams. But we are few and far between and sometimes that distance makes me feel even more lonely.I keep hope that community will present itself when COVID lifts, but sometimes I’m not so sure. Sometimes it feels bigger than lock downs.

And legitimately I am happy with life as it is right now. I have an amazing family and get to spend my days living a self-directed life with acres of wilderness around me. I find community in that nature with my non-human relations. But I do feel like community is a solution to some of the bigger problems that we face and I’d like to share this way of life with others.

Intersection House: Beginnings

When I was at San Diego State University I had countless blessings. A boyfriend I was ridiculously in love with. A major, Social Work, that I believed would help me make a difference in children’s lives. A group of playful, intellectual, stimulating friends to share thoughts with. And being accepted as one of the residents of the communal home, Intersection House.

What was Intersection…
