https://padlet.com/mayagangan/3ft2kuuen8vuabxx Do you think about the communities you pass through? Do you know you're neighbors, other fellow passengers? en-us 2021-04-16 03:26:54 UTC 2026-02-17 16:34:58 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/mayagangan/3ft2kuuen8vuabxx/wish/1440790074 commuting between two communities can be very exciting. There's new people to meet and new experiences which I love. However, it definitely can get very tiring. The trip itself can be tiring, but then also the constant need to adapt to a new environment can be tiring too.]]> 2021-04-21 02:42:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mayagangan/3ft2kuuen8vuabxx/wish/1440790074 https://padlet.com/mayagangan/3ft2kuuen8vuabxx/wish/1440796056 Leaving my community every morning means that as I catch my train to NYC, I think about the future I’m that I want my family to have. As I pass the communities, I think about how lucky I am to be on this train right now, providing for my family and as I look through the train windows, I feel so grateful for the opportunities life has presented me. I look forward to returning in the evening, in the arms of my welcoming family, knowing it was all worth it.]]> 2021-04-21 02:44:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mayagangan/3ft2kuuen8vuabxx/wish/1440796056 https://padlet.com/mayagangan/3ft2kuuen8vuabxx/wish/1440904190 I like commuting because it sets a routine where I wake up and get to work, although I definitely do enjoy the train ride back when I catch a nap before heading home. I haven’t really thought about the communities that I pass through more so the ones I commute to and from because those are the ones I’m actively taking part in.]]> 2021-04-21 03:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mayagangan/3ft2kuuen8vuabxx/wish/1440904190 https://padlet.com/mayagangan/3ft2kuuen8vuabxx/wish/1468681742 I never thought I would miss commuting until the pandemic hit. It used to be almost like a chore waking up at 6 am every morning, but I got in a routine. Staying at home for so many months made me wish I had somewhere to wake up and go to.]]> 2021-04-28 12:20:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mayagangan/3ft2kuuen8vuabxx/wish/1468681742 https://padlet.com/mayagangan/3ft2kuuen8vuabxx/wish/1468774496 I don’t think about the communities I pass through, although maybe I should? I more so think about home and the city where I work. It can be difficult to balance both communities at times. When I moved to SH I also began commuting at the same time and navigating both new places was difficult. Now I am used to it and it’s easier yet I wish there was less distance between the two places I have to be.]]> 2021-04-28 12:44:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mayagangan/3ft2kuuen8vuabxx/wish/1468774496
