As ever, I love this. It's funny that I should (finally) read this today ... This morning I was doing abit of reading for my massage work, about an injury. I realised that I didn't want to read about it (I have because it's for my friend's amazing, injured daughter). Or rather there was no oomph inside. In the past this has suggested to me that something is totally wrong for/with me (including wondering if massage really is for me). But the nuance is finally creeping in and now I realise it is telling me what I DO want in my work. And bugger me if it's not the stuff I have spent years trying to 'take a course' myself out of!! Hearing those wants is vital isn't it. They can get drowned out. As you say, made to feel like an indulgence. When in actual fact, they are our lifeblood. Love to you sweetheart x

This is beautiful and I love the idea of creating a want list. Thank you for also reminding me it's okay to want things that aren't just essential.

I've been saying the next time love comes around, I want that person to complement my life, not to change it or myself. I don't want to mold myself to fit someone else.

Mmm I love this. And I love the acknowledgement that it's OK both to state what we want, but also be willing to reciprocate - within our personal boundaries of course.

Love this and the permission to just want freely without the pressure that comes with an action or task ❤️
