I'd love to see you write about making changes (to be different, in life) when things are good, but not great. Why it's important to do and how it can be done. I think most off us know how to jump off the sinking ship, but what about when the ship is just lightly leaking?

I've made the changes before when things were good, and in hindsight the series of changes were the best decisions of my life. But a decade later, despite that lived experience, I'm sitting in uncertainty again about how to do it.

I stayed up all night Monday with intermittent bouts of sobbing because it pains me so intensely to see my son suffer for being different from the society in which we live. One where conformity and boundaries are highly valued.

I grew up in another country, at another time, and there I was different too. But I survived. I managed, I waited for my time to come, because I knew it would eventually.

My boy does not have the tools to do this. Why? Did I miss something in raising him?

Ai, this topic hits awfully close to home right now.
