Far from safety

MikkiTarz

I recently moved into a new area. A great new place with new people, new culture, a new challenge that I'm eager to take on. Adjusting into a new place can be challenging especially for a person with disability starting off with thing's like gaining familiarity.

One thing that always helps person with disability is being familiar with their surroundings as this comes handy when they're moving about or when they need help or to access something. One such assessment for me is being close to a hospital, chemists and church. As I'm also a social capitalist, I tend to also want to get and keep friends. But in a new area, how do I break through?

The best points of meeting people would be at the shop, market, along the corridors and stairs. It can be na innocent meet up, or timely and planned, reminds me of the spontaneous spark in movies after people cross paths. This are all good forms of meeting people, but before beginning this there's a long period of checking out people to see who you'll blend in easily. For to avoid making it awkward, you build some level of mystery so that you worth the sizz to be known. This can be the occasional smile, small talk and greetings , to compliments. This graduates to more talk and bond. I chose to join a fellowship group.

Joining a fellowship would be the best way breaking in. For it's a safe space. It offers that chance of not being judged while also getting to know people's very upclose life stories. This gives you an idea of the people around you and you can evoke that emotional need and connection by also being part of the conversation.

It's also a solid way to be rooted in your faith, because it's a congregation of people that makes a church. With you being in a new place, it's easy to lose touch with this. In my first fellowship meeting we read a scripture talking on far from safety, and it was right on point with me being in a new place. It summed up that challenge of breaking into a new place and how one can easily lose touch of themselves and God .

In this month of suicide awareness, its a good topic to talk how far are we from safety. From getting to know where you at, if you living by the edge, if you going through the highest of lows, or any other points of far from safety and how you can get to safety. Eager to hear the engagements.
