> Really glad I found a few all-ages communities This made me aware of something I'm very grateful for: I've always gotten along very well with older people. I think it's been a great advantage for me. I've been able to pick their brains, if nothing else. Their wisdom becomes distilled over time and is uncannily similar across diverse origins. I was also lucky to have people who were outstanding examples of something: educators, musicians, mechanics, homesteaders, etc--that all had a lifetime of wisdom to share about those topics. And additionally were truly some of the best people I've met. Make friends with old people! For both your sakes!
