These are my kind of people: quiet ones flourishing inside their heads, leading purposeful lives, moderate in their eating & dressing, engaged in finding solutions than whining about problems, trustworthy & honest, simpletons, imaginative, humorous, easy to get along with, cheerful, effective communicators, daring, caring, passionate ones having a zest for life, vibrant ones full of energy, admirers of art, aspirants of spirituality and esotericism and finally the dreamers, the doers...
“This is my living faith, an active faith, a faith of verbs: to question, explore, experiment, experience, walk, run, dance, play, eat, love, learn, dare, taste, touch, smell, listen, speak, write, read, draw, provoke, emote, scream, sin, repent, cry, kneel, pray, bow, rise, stand, look, laugh, cajole, create, confront, confound, walk back, walk forward, circle, hide, and seek.”
― Terry Tempest Williams, Leap

I've been a part of various XF fan groups since almost the beginning. From the AOL chat groups during the original run to my time on LiveJournal during the IWTB era to now tumblr in the post-revival phase.
I'm so eternally grateful that this fandom continues to thrive online with new creative content coming out daily. And being amongst people who are still just as obsessed as I am over a 30 year old show is pretty awesome.
There are nights when I think too high of myself that I can't even sleep, my wish simply being to join the stars, there, up above is the place where I wish to reach. I guess it was some mistake to have been born a human, I must turn into star dust once again, sprinkling itself and dancing in the heavens instead of ever dwelling upon the earth...
Coming home to the roomies having a dj sesh is such a vibe. Giving all my thanks for this experience. It’s not easy living with 7 people, but wow do we make it work and wow are we teaching each other the things we didn’t know we needed in our lives. Everyone is so different and has different needs but we manage to live in harmony. Knowing this next year or two is the very last I live with my best friends of a decade is bittersweet. I am so thankful we all jumped into the unknown and have made this journey possible.
Since I've been feeling myself again. I have been wanting to go on adventures or just hanging out and playing cards. Hasn't been easy. A single mom who moved to a small town. I try to mingle but not as much as I should, I guess. While working and healing the past five years or so I have met some amazing people. Truth is everyone seems to have their own group. So I'm curious... What app do you all use to connect with people in your area? It's been a while (almost twenty years) since I used a "dating/friend/networking site. I haven't a clue where to start. Tumblr isn't bad. My mutuals are great but 90% are half way around the world ✈️
Seems like it's mostly elder millennials on Tumblr now 😅. This where we hanging out from now on? Lol Everybody in this bitch 35-40, have I found my tribe?
