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!
