What am I willing to stand for?

I'm willing to stand in support of people. I'm willing to sit with them... and hold space for them. I'm also willing to trauma dump on occasion, but that's healing slowly.


I'm willing to share and celebrate their accomplishments and defend their humanity. I want to stand for the people who are in weaker positions, unsupported and perhaps outcast.

I want to feel. ...and I often dissociate so much that I lose track of those feelings.

I have zero interest in having children of my own or being with someone who has had them, but I would graciously offer my companionship and supportive compassion as a friend for those who do take on that task.

I wanted to be that for my family and honestly expected that to be my role, always had verbally confirmed support for my perspectives and seemingly agreed upon role. ...childfree uncle. Nobody batted an eyelash and sometimes I received full verbal support.

I suppose, people change... or maybe they just put on a show until the position means something to them.

I'd like to be a creative inspiration but the path to inspiration is to find success or admirable pursuit.

I'm willing to be of value to our species and not just to our economy.

I just keep slipping away... from myself and from friends and family.

I'm filled with fear and concern that I'll make things worse or I'll make myself worse. Therapy... sometimes seems to be helping.


We do have so much suffering in this world and a great many people don't even believe it's happening. ...apparently.

"I want to be able to trust myself." ...and I want to be able to trust others.

I'd like to stand for what cultivates and nourishes that trust.
