Find Your Tribe
Posted By Kathleen David on August 27, 2021
I will say that one of the good/bad things about the Internet is it is much easier to find people who share your interests.
I know a number of people who are fans of something that is not that popular or even known in the local area, but they have found folks who share their passion on the Internet.
I have made a number of friends online that have become friends in real life. We see each other at conventions or meet up for lunch or explore the city we are in.
I have also reconnected to my various tribes from my younger days. There is the Theatre Emory gang, the Druid Hills Science Fiction club, Georgia Ensemble Theater and the Atlanta Shakespeare Tavern along with friends I have made at conventions and the like.
I enjoy introducing people that I think should know each other. My record is pretty good in that regard.
This time next week I will be among my DragonCon Family. I am so looking forward to seeing people I missed seeing last year and to the new folks I will be meeting.
I am grateful for the various tribes I am a part of. It reminds me that I am not alone in my love of something.
