What does it mean to say that something matters to us? Or perhaps more importantly, what does it mean to say that we matter? Us mattering, and mattering to whom or what, and what matters to us is all so central to how we live. Mattering provides meaning and purpose in our lives, but it can also hurt us. The many ways that we come to care for the world and find our meaningful place in it shapes not only ourselves but also our community that we build together.
