I often hear to just go "join things" as a common mantra. But, in my experience, if I joined things just to join them as a vehicle to find new friends, etc that it really never seemed to work out that way. I have joined things like bowling clubs and booster clubs and so forth. Over time, i realized that what i truly needed to do was focus on what i am passionate about. And, i realized that I really like coaching kids, so now my husband and I are youth sport coaches and we have a great time. But, we have a great time because we are both passionate about teaching the sport. I think that to join things, you need to be a bit choosy and truly find things that you really care about. Otherwise, I have found that i was simply just a tool to be used by other people to accomplish something rather than being part of something. I will no longer be used by people. I pursue what I WANT to purse now.
