What Qualifies me to help people...? Sometimes nothing, yet sometimes everything. Relationships are messy. Life is messy. I can offer no neat and tidy answers.......just mere reflections through my own path of brokenness through the messyness of my life. I think to own and take responsibilty for ones own shit in life is as whole as we can ever attempt to be, which also allows for whole relating. If who I am through some of my answers make sense to you the reader, then great, if not, dump them. I cant be all things to all people. I still am seeking to be something at the best of times to and for self.
