I kinda miss being in college, if I was bored at 9pm on a Thursday night, all I had to do was go outside my dorm and listen for noise, any noise, follow it, and make new friends. Now, I just get sad and tweet about the utter lack of community and spontaneity in adulthood.

This is how adults spontaneously hang out. “Hey friend, I’m bored? Can you hang out?” “Ahh Kyle, that sucks, but the next 6 weeks of my life are booked up and then I head to Europe for 8 weeks. Think you’ll be bored in 14 weeks?” “Ugh. Probably. Pencil me in.”

This has some real implications, my wife and I are looking into getting our first home. A part of me wants to stay near the city, proximity to our friends. But then I realized our proximity has no effect, cause we only hang out when planned.

Maybe I’m a weird one, but I kind of always dreamed of owning the home where there was beer and soda in the garage fridge and it was an open door for friends to come hang out. I really don’t know if that level of neighborliness and community exists in my generation.

Or maybe it’s just too easy to stay indoors, a week or so during the major power outage, everyone in the neighborhood was outside hanging out, I met people I’d never even seen that evening. And they were my neighbors!

Regardless, that’s my experience. I wonder if any of you have similar experiences and worries about community and loneliness and the sort.

not a fan of church, but there is a sense of community that is much harder to find in the secular world.
