Goals

Everyone wants to be both understood and loved for who they are; not necessarily warts and all. 

I spoke to my son today and he read me a passage from his personal journal which impressed me as it was so well written. It was the same type of angst many of us have when we don't feel we quite fit in and want to get to a better place. 

Whether we are autistic or gender dysphoric or have some other aspect of ourselves that requires effort, we all have the same basic goals underneath it all. 

We want to truly live instead of just exist.
