I am not planning on heading anywhere else any time soon.
but I think in the long run keeping the connection stops me drifting away.
Yep and I think this works in a couple ways, as it connects to the community, but also can build a habit that is valuable personally. I am not a fan of routines, but hygiene is important and this is part of my daily mental hygiene routine :)
'mental hygiene' love it! Yup that's how I look at it as well.
