Short answer , not much.
Long answer, perhaps its time I open up to the world around me, little by little. Been so focused on my journey I hardly get involved in those around me. Am a Christian, but I last went to church some few weeks ago. The only community I have been engaging with its just online platforms. So basically its been work, home, and phone, that’s about it
I am part of an organization with monthly contributions to help the less fortunate. Just been sending money never went there physically like they usually do to distribute the things. Am involved in online youth sessions, bible studies , prayer etc. I have also recently started an online youth program at my church back home, called Real Talk, which seeks to tackle difficult topics or issues the church is being silent about. Mostly we plan on discussing issues the young people want us to discuss. I guess also sharing my stories here on this platform is being involved in a community. But then again its online.
90 % of the people involved on these online platforms don’t even know me. I even got a nickname at my current church, ‘GHOST’.
So am I really contributing, if they don’t even know about me? Its probably just a name saved in their contacts, or on google meet. and that’s about it.
This question has made me think. Am I really being involved, or am in the shadows?
