How to figure out what you want.

What if you were here to define your own unique blueprint for how you were supposed to live?
What if all the formats and templates you've had presented to you throughout your life that say
"This is the correct way to
Love yourself.
Build and be in community.
Live your life.
Eat.
Learn.
Be in relationship.
Earn your livelihood.
Parent children.
Be a child.
Consume."
was the wrong way **for you**?
What if you actually don't want what you think you do?
What if you only think you want it because you've been conditioned to believe you're supposed to want it?
What if your frustration came from you trying to be someone you're not, do something you don't want to do, go somewhere you're not supposed to go?
What if the simple solution was
To say no when you mean no.
And yes when you mean yes.
And,
To listen to and take action on what you really want even if you have no proof of it being the right way; no validation from anyone around you to say you're doing it correctly.
And that's it?
What if it was actually that simple?
I don't know much, but what I do know is this:
You will never know if you don't start asking.
"Is this really what I want?"
And to keep asking until you hear a loud and resounding
"Yes."
From within.
In every moment of your life.
