We've been going to the closest skatepark not quite every day for a while now.
I've been impressed with all of these guys(and about 50% of the girls there).
I've two teenagers, one boy and girl, and a six year old boy.
Every one of them has received personal tips, tricks, my youngest is incredibly charming and I would say 75% or greater of the people who come there have personally helped him with whatever challenge he is at. I'm so impressed with the rate of accomplishment for every one of my kids. It wouldn't happen without the support of the unlikely community.
It has been so encouraging to me to see this. Most of you won't know that I'm a mom. I've spent many years trying to fit into whatever group, from military wives(both enlisted and officer), to mother book clubs, natural mother's groups, cooking, gaming, gardening... basically anything I thought I could be genuine in yet still failed to make any meaningful relationships. I was always seeking community for myself and children as an only child married to an only child, both grandparents for our children absent, and frequent moving due to military. Soccer and jiu jitsu lacked in ways I won't get into here.
This, though, this is real contact with real people who actually care to see each other succeed.
I'm just really happy to see what I'm seeing. It's the first time I've seen groups of people encourage one another, not be engaged or absorbed into whatever tech gadget they have, be active and constantly improving physically.
It's human, without the jewfluence. It's doing, because it's enjoyable, and it's not step on everyone to get ahead, or doing to be part of the system.
It's nice.
