Expressing a sense of 'mattering'. My friend kerri9494 once pointed me at a fantastic article on it from a conference she attended. (Damn, I hate it when I don't properly attach memory keywords.)
The gist of it was something to the effect of mattering being the one thing that we need. It doesn't matter who, where, when, etc, we need to have a sense that we matter in this world. And not only that, that we matter to someone. One of these days I have to go back and start tagging my posts.
