I am who I want to be when I grow up

Keywords: Community , Family

I want to be kind, caring of others, not entirely focused on myself. I want to be a person who knows Jesus and the scriptures, who has a desire to lead others in their discovery of Him. I want to be a person who cares about the environment, and politics, and upcycled furniture, and flowers in the garden, who enjoys the world God created. I want to be a person who is generous with his time, knowing that all that we have is a stewardship and not owned by us.

When I think I want to have children in the future, I always have this very strong condition

Keywords: break up , heart broke , love , relationship , relationships , to truly love someone , true love

I won’t ever have children until I can find someone with whom I’m sure I can create a healthy environment for my children to grow. To truly love someone, from a healthy love I hope to build with time, is a sinequanone condition to me.

I wanted so desperately for my kids to be safe and happy, that I oftentimes didn’t allow them to fall and pick themselves back up

Expectations- we all have dreams for our kids but those dreams should never interfere with what our kids actually want. Encouragement is necessary and beneficial but expectation is toxic and dangerous. We should not be “living through” our kids, we should be sharing the experiences and life they choose. Expecting our kids to have a particular education, a certain job, earn a certain amount of money, be a particular sexual orientation or live a life you deem worthy is not unconditional love. Being embarrassed or ashamed of our kids if they are struggling in life, is more a reflection on our own lack than it is on our kids. I want to know my kids struggles so I can support them and we can work together for the healthiest outcome. My kids know there is nothing they cannot tell me, I will never judge them. If you can’t accept that your child will be their own person, suffer struggles and make mistakes or choose a lifestyle that makes them happy, rather then fitting into your mould- perhaps parenthood is not for you.

Now it is time to share my life and to enjoy the beauty that is romantic partnership

Keywords: {0}

We don’t have the answers and we never will, but we will be okay. We have to be comfortable living in the questions because there are some questions that will never be answered. I may never reach my dream, and that makes me sad. But does that mean my life doesn’t have meaning or purpose? Of course not. We make meaning and purpose with every interaction we have with others and with our art, our poetry, our music, and our contributions to society…even through our mundane jobs and our relationships. Our purpose is whatever we make it. Our legacy is in every single way we relate to the world…through relationships with people, through conservation, through our perspectives both experienced and shared. I think I am ready to stop trying so hard to make an impact and, rather, start living, traveling, interacting, loving, and just being. I’ll never not be an intellectual; it’s who I am. I will never stop contemplating the big questions or trying to problem-solve the big issues we face, but I don’t need to constantly produce something. It is enough just to exist…to breathe…to be grateful…and to rest.

I want to bring that back to politics

Keywords: help , Kennedy , life , need , Nicole Shanahan , political , politics , privilege , purpose , Robert F. Kennedy Jr. , Shanahan , want , wealth , wealthy

I became very wealthy later on in life, but my roots in Oakland taught me many things I’ve never forgotten — (one thing is) that the purpose of wealth is to help those in need … that’s what it’s for! And I want to bring back — I want to bring that back to politics too — that is the purpose of privilege.
