"The sense of community is really my favorite part. It's really easy to go over next door and get some sugar. Sure not- physically cuz ygotta rope your boats together and kinda shimmy it and hope y'don't fall in cuz that'll land you so many diseases they could make a medical dictionary outta your obituary. Emotionally easy though, everyone's just trying to survive out here best they can and they wanna see everyone else succeed."
