As a ‘millennial’ I find that i am stuck between old school values and morals, but also love that I live in a time where women like me can be independent, work, make different choices for themselves etc. (I for 1 am glad for women’s working rights, purely because I would not have obtained a husband in the 50’smof we were relying on my house keeping or baking abilities😂 ) but I really struggle with the lack of, connection…? In the modern day. I do understand the world is ever changing and evolving and will do so long after I am gone. I am not ignorant to the fact every generation struggles with this.

But the world is changing faster then it ever has before. Everything is dispose-able. A new and improved version will be available tomorrow. And we place such high value in having the latest and greatest.

I propose for those of us that are finding it hard to watch the world become so impersonal, we put our heads and our wallets together and create our own community. What would this look like for you?

My ideal is
- a semi/partially self sufficient community. Every bit of land is divided equally, no one benefits more or less purely because they were or weren’t born to a family with money.

-We all grow or care or tender to something that is contributed to the community as a whole. I grow tomatoes, you look after the chooks, and we share everything.

- it wouldn’t be so much about serving a community, but maybe ensuring your own needs are met first, to minimise how much support we have to give others. Which of corse wouldn’t be a problem, but is only intended to be short term whilst recovering, getting back on your feet etc.

- but all having the frame of mind that we only: *take what we need, not in access.
*We all contribute in whatever way we can for the betterment of the community as a hole.
*simplistic, no need for the flashier things in life as physical possessions aren’t of value
* transparency
* safe

Well, i guess that’s as far as I have thought so far.
I guess I can see how this would sound cult like 😂 and hay it’s just an imagination for me. But let me know what your perfect future world/community looks like in your mind. Or raise your hands if you think my ideal might be okay. :)
