PROMPT: What do you want? What would you do with your life if you didn’t have to worry about money or other people’s opinions?

Searching for your life and figuring out what you do want shouldn’t have only one answer or be labeled as necessary by society. The simplest joys can be the treasure you already hold.

We all need to pay bills, and until I win the lottery, money issues will have a place of discussion but not a seat at the family table.

Other people’s opinions shouldn’t stop you or your ideas, convictions, or plans. You don’t need to live your life to please or appease others. This life is your journey, so the career you choose, spouse or partner, family values, places you go, or things you do are in your best interest.

Self-reflection

In my life, getting ready to turn 50, I feel like I can finally answer what I want without feeling selfish and following what draws me out into the world.
