thank you!! i'm definitely far from perfect but i mean, hello, human being hsbdhs kind of in the job description.. i care a lot about learning though, my own and other people's, and i care a lot about understanding. not just others, but ourselves - sometimes conflicts happen bcs we don't understand ourselves as much as someone else understands themselves, and that can be a source of insecurity/shame for people. i think if i were to identify some kind of purpose for my life, it would be to use whatever understanding i have, and improve whatever understanding i have, so i can help others understand the world around them (and within them) too. so this was a lovely compliment!! mwah
