Not sure
I’ve gotten myself into a pickle here. They’re very kind and treat me to some wonderful experiences but I feel very aware of my mental limitations and kind of the cutting nature of their everyday treatment and power. It's a strict hierarchy and yet I need to be grateful for the good moments and cope with the negative.
its also taught me there's no 'way of being' (that this religion might declare) but to just be myself seems the answer.
I suppose it's teaching me that in each situation and group there's kind of a pecking order. But outside of that I find my love, validation as an essential valuable and worthy legitimate individual and self expression with Blue and design and art and here.

I am glad that you’re learning so much about yourself and life while there. You do a great job opening yourself up to all of it and absorbing it like a sponge. “Just be yourself” is a great reminder.
Just remember you are every bit as good as anyone else is no matter what their title or status is. Don't ever limit yourself or minimize yourself to anyone else because you have gifts just like everyone else does and we are all the same in God's eyes. I know you knew that but it's just a reminder because I forget too sometimes...:-) .hugs

Thanks Jan and Becky!
You are an essential and valuable person, Mark. The hierarchy may shape how you are treated, but it doesn't define your inherent worth. No matter the environment, the most important thing you can offer is your genuine self. Hugs.
Thanks Judy!! xx
