I have thought so much about the difference between can and want to. It feels much more vulnerable to express and act on what I do and do not want to do compared to what I can and can’t do. What I want and don’t want is so internal, so specific to me, and I am the only one who can actually know that. There’s no external way to validate (or invalidate!) what I want. So it feels riskier to state it. But I’m letting myself be guided by what I want and don’t want, and the more I do it, the more I’m trusting it.
