What I Wish For
This will be short, unfortunately I'm nursing a migraine this evening.
For others:
-Understanding if not outright empathy for those different from oneself.
-The ability to understand hurting another and to stop causing that hurt.
-Understanding that intent does not matter as much as actions and consequences.
-When someone voices pain do not shut them out for fear of one's own guilt and shame.
For myself:
-To be able to look in a mirror and see myself without the broader issues of the world I live in.
-To understand I am different and to make peace with that, no matter how much heartache it may cause. I do not mean this in a special snowflake sort of way, but rather a constant inability to fit in with those around me. To be accepted... and understood are things I very much wish for.
