What do you want?

This reflection explores why that deceptively simple question, ‘What do you want?’ can feel so difficult to answer. Often, our desires are shaped by expectations, habits, and other people’s scripts rather than our own truth. Through personal reflection and some poignant stories, this piece invites a gentler, more honest inquiry. It encourages readers to listen beneath the noise, sit with their desires without judgement, and recognise that even not knowing yet can be a meaningful place to begin.
