What do you want, what does family expect, what seems logical, what are you afraid of losing and what do you believe you “should” want? With so much noise, desire can be difficult to hear.

You do not always need one big answer. You can begin with smaller distinctions: what do I no longer want, what gives me relief, what drains me, what would I like more of?

Self-awareness often develops through repeated observation rather than one dramatic revelation.

If you have learned to adapt heavily to other people’s needs, the question “what do I want?” may require practice rather than pressure.
