There is a level of comfort when you know that there's a Community there, even if it's only like 2 people, even if it's 15 or 20. I'm telling you, that Community support has been a game changer for myself and for other people that, you know, I have been around. Like, even my husband's like, wow, since you and Danielle have been working together, oh my gosh, like, you're moving through things a lot faster than you ever did. And I said, that's because I have somebody I can bounce something off of, not just Danielle, but the whole Community, and say, look, I don't understand this. Is this something to do with ADHD? Is this something to do with autism? Is this something to do with chronic illness? Please help. And everybody will pitch in and give the support that's needed because come on guys, seriously, we are not here as individuals to live individually. We weren't meant to do life alone. And humans in general, neurotypicals, neurodivergent, whatever, humans weren't meant to do life alone.
