I’ve got a church that i use as a place to play music and socialize (no one has ever asked about my beliefs but i have a local reputation as Weird (fair amount of musicians in the congregation though so got some Weird there), they’re just glad to have the music and I like free coffee, seeing friends, and getting to play) and i have a couple parks i busk at, and we’ve got a gorgeous farm out in the boonies on the other side of the next town over (so you know, just outside of battery range on my bike to get there and back) but like this is stuff i only know about because i’ve lived here all my damn life and make compromises like going to a (thank gods liberal) church
No more “third place”.
You’ve got home, you’ve got work (or school)… And that’s it.
Some people have church.
