Communities
How different communities can bring so many different kinds of people together.
There are all kinds of communities
That can bring comfort to people.
Some are traditional and some
Are not.
There are a lot of support groups
Out there.
Anything from AA to suicide
Support groups.
The support group or community
That has helped me a lot is the
LGBTQIA+ community.
Specifically, the YouTube
Community.
YouTube, I think would be considered
Nontraditional because technically
It is not a sanctioned support group
But it is a community that has helped
A lot of people.
For LGBTQIA+ specifically you
Can watch videos to figure out
Who you are and find
Other people like you.
Even when you are a really small
Subcategory of the community.
Another community that is
Non-Traditional I want to talk
About is the Gaming community.
You would not think watching
People play games would bring
Me and other people so much
Comfort.
For me I think it is the friendship
And interaction they have
With each other.
It is also the interaction
They have with their fans.
I hope you can find a
Community that accepts
You for who you are.

Center Stage with Paul Stewart
*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

Some very beautiful words, Jeremy. Looking at your submissions for my anthology (yep, finally getting round to it lol). Will decide which and let you know in the comments for that one, when I have read them all, but this is a very beautiful message! The world survives on communities, both traditional and more crucially, non-traditional.
Community and support are always where you choose to find them. It is a blessing that you were able to find comfort in non-traditional places.
Very poignant in today's society, well written!
