i think "it takes a village" shouldn't be just "to raise a child". we should understand it takes a village to do literally everything we do. all day every day. without our communities we would not have drinking water or electricity or clean streets or food or shelter or anything. we cannot do any thing alone. we just can't. and with that comes the fact that you are not alone. you already have a community, seek to be an active part of it, you will feel better. reach out and thank them, they're happy to have you too. i promise. it takes a village to live.

It takes a village to raise a child and it takes every neighbor to raise a barn and it takes all hands on deck to clean the river. We were built as a communal species. Lend what you can, and accept what you're offered.

Looks Middle Eastern/ African maybe even Greek. Interesting post.

His father, the emperor Septimius Severus, was North African (the first African emperor of Rome!), and his mother, Julia Domna, was Syrian, from a wealthy priestly family

#rome was a multiethnic empire

Yep! Septimius Severus was born in what is now Libya. (X)
