What do you want?

I remember hearing this question from one of my academic professors when I was in the midst of worrying and obsessing about other people feelings and thoughts.

It stroke me hard. I didn’t know how to answer it. I didn’t have the vocabulary for it.

Then when you are put in situations alone and isolated, you find yourself forced to answer this question.

What do you want? If today is your last day living on this earth hotel, will you continue doing what you are doing? If you leave aside other people thoughts and feelings and focus on yourself, what is it you truly want and desire?
