I’ve been thinking about desire. How desire is often conceptualized (and stigmatized) as purely sexual or a desire for things. But how desire is, at its core, a yearning for a state of being we aren’t currently experiencing.

Desire tells us where to go next. We want to be someone who’s wealthier. Who finished their book. Who started painting again. Who is seen for who they are and loved for it.
Desire informs us about the places we want to go next in our lives, but it isn’t cold, clinical information. It’s information with a specific energetic resonance.
