The second question I’ve been pondering a lot lately: “What do you WANT?”
I want to live my life in a constant state of gratitude. To be continually thankful to everyone and everything that has ever come across my path. To be able to celebrate even the most inconvenient raindrop or the hottest of summer days. To find happiness in even the most painful of memories.
I want to be able to not worry. To be confident enough in myself that I don’t deflect my insecurities onto others, or magnify them within myself. To not get so worked up that I become hypersensitive and paranoid.
I want to be able to always stand up for myself. I do a fairly good job of this already, I think. I want to be able to express my opinions pointedly and fight for my side.
Most importantly, I want to know what I want. I am perfectly content with going along for the ride sometimes, and I’m really good at being supportive, but I also want an opportunity to roar in my own right. It’s going to take a lot of time and effort to figure out what the things I want actually ARE, but I will start trying to figure it out.
After all, to get what you want, you have to do something.
