Most importantly, someone that people can count on.

With all the worldly things, after awhile displays a sensation that our goals may not be aligned with our standards in a world view, and this in my opinion should be salient, vivid, and purposeful so we know we are accountable for our own design.

My goal was really to create something of value for everyone, and if I did not, I could learn from it and try to do better the next time.

Sometimes, just stepping away from the world and finding a sense of belonging is all we need to give us a reality check now and then.
