do not feel needed
or even uniquely loved and...

Difference between
Who am I?
and
What am I for?
What is my purpose,
healthy meaning,

not sufficient as Either/Or left-brain calculations
and necessary Both/And right-brain

you have your house
and sometimes food,
You have your phone

A myth, a melodrama or a mystery,
