  • I assume by “being an introvert” you mean you have social anxiety. If so, start out by looking for things you need online, followed by your location. Many local businesses will have some kind of online presence, or at least a Facebook page. Check what businesses those pages follow or interact with. At least that way you’ll gain some background.

    Buying local is ideally going to be a more social experience. You will start having to seek out local markets and meeting the people who provide their goods and services. You’ll also find it easier once you visit local places For example, the local brewery here hosts markets. Local supermarkets buy food from (relatively large) local farms. Smaller local farms work directly with local restaurants. It’s all interconnected.









  • Change in life circumstances is always daunting. Take it from the child that did not do well in school at 18-19. I lost my scholarship and dropped out.

    I don’t know if my life would be much better had I stayed. The truth is, I was depressed. Stepping away from school allowed me to work on myself. I was poor, and lost, and scared. But life goes on, and you find friends and courage along the way.

    I went back to college when I was 28. It took that long for me to figure it out. But I am more confident, passionate about my studies, and more whole than I ever could’ve been back then. I’m set to graduate this spring.

    Hopping off the treadmill is necessary if you’ve hurt your leg. Yes, it might be harder to hop back on, but you sure as hell have an easier time running with a healed leg than when you’re limping trying to keep up.
