A Group Is Not Always About Being Together Nor About 'That Push'

Nafis Light

Before September 9th, 2019, I thought...
that joining a group like a running group
is about doing things together
and someone said...that to have them push you further.

 

Suddenly after some testimonials,
People said that...it's about 'Community';
Maybe it is in the sense of 'Belonging Somewhere'
and if not with a place...then with a group of people instead of 'Nowhere'.

 

----

With Love,

  • Comment from author about the poem: It suddenly occurred to me about that. Several years ago, I did join a running group and join races together with them...but for me, I wanted to be together with them and not really about the running. The group is currently 'inactive' in the country as the members became separated and the organizer as well, with some of them...became active in a different country. When I told someone that I didn't really run anymore because my group is not really active, he said something about not being able to do it alone and that's why cannot do it without them (need people to motivate or something like that). Later on, I realized that that's not it for me...although it's great in that because it's like being trained to use my legs. The 'testimonials' part is from certain video talks which were 'deepening' in a sense for me. It's surprising that the reasoning is 'the community' instead of whatever other reason that might be.
