To Feel:
Seen
Look what I can do
This is how I can contribute
See me achieve
Heard
Hear my concerns
Take me into account
Understood
Validate me
Normalize my feelings
Say you can relate
Accepted
Tell me I belong
Loved
Participate in the Messy with me
Commit to sticking with me through the hard shit
Let me be my whole self with you
Be your whole self with me
Children by parents
Patients by doctors
Students by teachers
Workers by managers

Spouses
Friends
What if?

Did you intend to publish this in its current form? It reads so very different from your usual style. It’s more of a list or outline, and less of the essay you usually post. Are you okay?

Yes, I published in this format intentionally. I’m totally okay! 😄I thought of it more as a poem…
