Let's Kindly Connect!
We can build our own communities
Hello, Lovely Soul Drop!!
I’m extremely tired at the moment, but I wanted to write the week’s post regardless. Luckily, I planned this post to be one to connect with others! Clementine Morrigan (what a beautiful name, sounds like one I’d use for a main character) inspired me to do this. My substack isn’t as big as hers is, but I’m sure my few followers would love to connect with one another. After all, this newsletter is called Kind Connections!
I know how lonely it can be when you don’t fit any group entirely. We are way more than we think! Even though IG isn’t a good platform I love being able to connect with others there. The writing community, the disabled community, and so many other communities kicked me out or spread my handle as “the one to avoid” because I wasn’t as dogmatic as they were. The writing community was first. People who asked me about my mental health literally the day prior suddenly unfollowed me or blocked me because I spoke about my views on the “non-binary” trend I saw around me. You may have a rare form of gender dysphoria, but most call themselves NB because they are simply gender non-conforming…without any sort of dysphoria. Furthermore, regardless if you have or not gender dysphoria there is no way of wiping out the notion of sex. Our brains are wired to fit people into man or woman, NB people will inevitably fall into one of those two regardless of what they do. I never said to attack them or that I wasn’t going to respect them, but that canceled me in the community. That’s why I don’t look for communities anymore…I rather build them myself.
I call you Lovely Soul Drops because our souls are like drops in the water we call universe. We create ripples and affect our surroundings even if we are tiny in the grand scale of things.
Comment down below if you want to connect with others! Tell us a bit about yourself, what would you like to accomplish by creating new connections (business, friends, dating, etc) and add where can people contact you. If people don’t contact you don’t take it personally as I won’t take personally if no one comments. After all, my substack is still quite small.
Thank you so much for reading!
With much love,
Belle Moon.
Hello Belle. Thanks for sharing the link to this post.
I also resonate with what you wrote because I've also been kicked out of some online groups for not abiding with the dogmas of the NB herd.
Quite ironic that they call themselves "inclusive" and "diverse" when they only accept people that have the same ideologies and views as them. Nevertheless, it's good that you took the step forward to do your own thing and find like-minded folks in the process.
Keep at it!
Hi This is Ankur. I turned 32 today. I am looking for friends, who are also cancelled like me. Well I am more in the process of being cancelled, and losing friends rapidly.
p.s. I hope your community grows rapidly, Belle.
