“What breaks my heart is that there are people in this world that feel alone, separate, stigmatised, un-met, un-seen, and have not been offered the time and space (or it hasn’t been safe enough) to experience their deepest sense of self, and how the self is in relation to everything and everyone else that’s exploring the same recognition of their existence.”
