Community. . . What is a community? By definition it's : a group of people living in a particular local area. I dont know what community I belong to. I may belong to many and just not know it. I know that sometimes i feel as if i do not belong anywhere. Is there a community of loners or people who dont belong in major communities? Is there a place they call home, or a place they can recognize as a community? I dont know, if so, someone give me a map and circle that destination because i am on my way there. I live in Shwoody this year in the Lafollette complex. I guess that in its self is a community. But i dont know if feel as though i belong there. I dont know if I feel like a part of the community. Most of the times its like an out of body experiences and i can see myself standing long a crowd of people here, and i can tell i just dont fit in. Im not the right piece to this puzzle. I dont know what makes a community that much, or what you need to have, i dont even know if i have the right stuff to be in any type of community. But maybe soon i will find out i belonged to one all along. Maybe i just need to stray away from this big pack of communities and make my own.

You make an interesting point about community -- that it cannot be constructed for a person, but something a person decides to belong to and for her own reasons.
