self value /worth = I am beneficial to the community

I am beneficial to community because...
- I embody the courage to follow my own path and take responsibility for my life
- I build horizontal relationships of equality and mutual strength
- I encourage other people without interfering in their life
- I have gratitude for people's 'being,' not just what they do or don't do
- I accept myself and others on the level of being not acts

“Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

I learn by going where I have to go.

let everything happen to you
beauty and terror
just keep going
no feeling is final

/ Rainer Maria Rilke
