Communities are seeming to be a very complex system to me, realizing that my everyday life always plays a part in all gossip or actions taken in my communities. Whether this is an official community or private, each action creates a change in the official or private community. My main communities consist of three places, one being work, followed by friends, and then home. Work is my largest, leaving no time for any other. Everything I do at work affects not only me but every other person I work with, and there are certain people you listen to and you do not listen to. At Work I have my credible sources, and non credible sources also. Secondly, friends are my next largest community, although because of work not much time is with friends. My friends are what keep me going, whether it is a nice night of drinking, or a night of being bored and watching a movie. Thirdly, home life is my last community, which I wish I had more time for. My home life is mainly alone time for my fiance and I, time to talk about money and relax away from friends on nights when we both do not want to hang out. My communities can be great and I love them, but sometimes not so loved and boring.

It's kind of vague, but I think I get your point.
Communities are a love/hate relationship. Some days at work are great, some are just rotten. Friends can really help you out, or really drag you down.
You have a keen perception on your communities, nice job.
I think work is a huge part of everyone's communities. I sometimes struggle seperating work and family. I don't want to come home all stressed out and not be able to enjoy my evenings.
I agree, communities can be love/hate. It's nice to have friends or loved ones to get you through when things arent going great.
I can understand where you are coming from with work it is most of my life too!! I have a lot of good work friends but it is sometimes hard to keep the work and personal separate.
I like the love/hate spin you put on the communities. There is two sides to every story, and communities certainly aren't immune to that addage.
Greetings,
Im glad you pointed out how your friends are a community. People forget that they are! You and your friends have your own sort of culture, agendas, and interests. Im glad you touched upon that- Kudos~
