The kombucha girl meme. On the left, a woman's face is grimacing. On the right, the same woman's face looks relieved and surprised. Text above both left and right images: been away now reconnecting with the testing community.
Stepping away from the testing community is cool, particularly if you're just not in the place to stay connected and involved all the time. It's also healthy to take a break when you can, even if you're fully committed to being a community member. This meme represents that feeling of returning to a community after time away or time off. A lot can change and it can feel odd. It takes effort to come back yet there's that realisation that it's worth it!
