3:02 I know what I want

Meeting with one of my mentors, while trying to crystallize how I felt the process of dating has informed my insights on my career, I blurted out that the underlying truth clarifying my choices is that now I have a much better idea of what I want.

My earlier development of focusing on my zen served me well to best savour what life presented, but it did leave me a bit adrift with respect to meeting all my needs. Well, more wants than needs, but definitely some need-like bits mixed in. I'm learning how sadness festers within un-attempted hopes, but is glorious and honourable from worthy attempts. And worthy attempts need direction derived from knowing what you actually want.
