Key Moments
But I do think you have to get out there and put yourself out there, not be afraid, because you know what happens to all of us.
There is a place to go. There's something whether it's an activity or a hobby or whatever it is, there's something out there to go to, even no matter how big or small.
I realize now when I have a problem or I'm worried or fretting about something, there are those people that I can text or pick up the phone and talk to that make me feel like it's all going to be okay. And that's what that community is about. That's what that small community is about.
I watch my dad, who is 84. He goes to his gym, he meets people and goes out to restaurants by himself. He is determined to make sure he keeps doing that, even though a lot of his friends have passed away. And so I was like, Oh, he can do that. I should be doing that, because I think it's really, really hard and I think that sense of community is really necessary and really special. And I think that's kind of what we're all here for in the end.
