com·mu·ni·ty
– a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes,
interests, and goals.
The word community gets thrown around a lot, and like most words, the true meaning has been bastardized, manipulated, and hijacked. However, if one seeks and is open to, they can still find it. I have found a community since entering the halls of Ascension. A fellowship of fascinating individuals from different walks of life and experiences. At the centre of this controlled chaos is Mr. Ian Holmes. Friend, mentor, training partner, confidant. A person that will take your dumb idea for a workout, laugh, add something even more ridiculous to it, and then suffer along by your side. When finished, will sit and talk, share laughs, wisdom, and if needed, tears; always ending with a big hug.
From day one, I was eager, and perhaps a bit too much…I was in unfamiliar territory and wanted to impress…I believe I made an impression, perhaps not the one I wanted to. With feelings of nausea and a particular taste in my mouth I hastily awaited my return. Over the past two years it has become a favourite place of mine. A place in which actions speak louder than words, especially when you can’t use your mouth.
