I have just realized I am unbelievably fortunate. There is no part of my life I have not chosen. I have the privilege of walking away from people, projects and situations I do not like and/or love. I work, play and volunteer only where I want to. My sexuality is mine to enjoy---not a resource for survival or under the control of others. I am able to choose my friends and collaborators on the basis of resonance and respect. Much of the world cannot say that.

My work and my life are full of meaning.

My life rocks.

The inverse...

This is meant as a reflection. I know many people who could say this. You are indeed blessed.

I am unfortunate. There is no part of my life I have chosen. I must tolerate people, projects and situations I dislike or hate. I work, play and volunteer only as others require. My sexuality is a resource for survival or under the control of others. I cannot choose my friends and collaborators on the basis of resonance and respect. Much of the world can say that.

My work and my life are meaningless.

My life sucks.

Hugging you and holding you---and everyone else---who might be able to say this, close.

I wish for everyone, especially those I love and respect, to enjoy what I have, and more.

A good reflection to have and to remember.

And something of a mission statement can evolve from this: to work towards extending this state to everyone *without* losing it in ourselves.

I love this thought: to help bring greater joy and agency to others without losing it ourselves.

Thank you.
