I'm not doing much, so I'm scrolling through the community firehouse while listening to music.
The torrent of shared happiness, celebration, sadness, trauma, and pain is something different than everywhere else.
This is what community and humanity is about. I don't know if the person who created CoSo understands what they've made here or not, or how important it might be, but it is really special.
@ExPatExp88 I am thousands of miles from home in a country where I don't speak the language.
Coming here is like finding a campfire where people are looking into the fire, poking it with a stick, and sharing stories from their lives. Good and bad.
@quinnsentialOne
A lot of wonderful things happen when you're in a place where the creator and the community have the same goals.
Monetization does a hella lot of damage to people.
I believe J knows how important this place is - pretty sure he hasn't slept much the last 5 years. His level of commitment is extraordinary.
@heyrhiannon When I get back home and have money to spare, I'm going to donate to do my little part.
@quinnsentialOne
The support is welcome, but you being here and part of the community is all that's needed. :)
the creator knows...J likes to say he built the sandbox, and we build the sandcastles
I always say CoSo is just folks being folks...we laugh, cry, support one another, engage in serious debate, and sometimes just make a 50 post thread of puns...
it's testament to the environment J created here to allow us to just be ourselves
👍
@opie I love that saying about the sandbox and sand castles, that is profound.
Freedom is great, when it's not built on hating other people for it.
@quinnsentialOne
I believe this was @th3j35t3r s dream
Thank you for your beautiful words, understanding
and mostly for being here with us
@quinnsentialOne Couldn’t agree more! I’m thousands of miles from most of the people here, lying in bed trying to get better, and I don’t feel lonely, thanks to CoSo and all the lovely people here.💕
