How interesting it is to simultaneously be satisfied, in broad strokes, with one's life but still deeply yearn for another life. I think a life well lived is in the wanting. In the desires that haunt us and transform even if we happen to satisfy them, never letting us settle into a perfect lack of desire. To have a body, and a mind is to crave. It is only human.
The want that resonates deep in one's soul can not be commodified or made into anything public or commercial. There is a quiet space in our soul that is just for ourselves, and if we permit, our Creator.
Yet somehow, you managed to express that private yearning publicly here. Without pretense and full of beauty. Thank you for this.
You know when you're savouring a delicious bite of something and you close your eyes like you're closing curtains for some privacy?
Yeah… That's what these news feel like 😂🤣
Girl, I closed my eyes because this is music to my eyes. I am excited and I know it will be worth the wait. Also, I know you're not doing it for me, but I'll still go about my day thinking and believing that you are. 😂😭 Delusion is acceptable as long as you acknowledge it for what it actually is, okay. 😂😂😂
On a much serious note though, I'm truly happy to hear this, because amongst other things it means you know you have a voice, a beautiful voice and you have something to say that people like me, your audience, wants to hear and in your particular voice. That is awesome.
I believe, just like fingerprints identify individuals even our voices reveal our true essence. And yours is the most tender and gentle of them, you're an authentic soul. You always want to tell yourself the truth, it's an honour when one invites you into their inner world.
Anyways, thank you for sharing these exciting news with me. Much love 😇🙏🏽
It would certainly be easier to not want anything, right? But the wanting is there. We could wish it wasn't. We could dislike or even hate that it exists. I certainly do sometimes. That would also be easier. That is, until we understand that it's part of who we are.
I express it so simply here, like I have it all figured out, but that couldn't be further from the truth. I still struggle a bit, specially in days when it all seems to be going nice, and then suddenly, I see some people near and I'm reminded of it.
This writing 😮💨. The whole time I was waiting for the reveal. I was assuming maybe it’s this or that. Naming everything stored in my own storage locker of wants. I think I was hoping I would find you wanting the same thing as me. But it isn’t about the thing is it. This resonates because of the feeling itself not because of the thing.

Love this piece. Very thought provoking.
The absence of desire isn’t peace… it’s usually just distance. Wanting is how I know I’m still here.
Glad you liked the piece! ✨

Thank you so much Jeremy 🙏🏻 that was so beautifully said 🥹✨
I missed this beautiful voice. Thank you Ash, I wish I could download these audio articles and make a playlist for myself. 😂😌🤷🏽♀️
That's what I want Ash, I want a playlist. I said it and the sky did not fall. 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
🤔Your YouTube channel 💡😇 yes, I almost forgot.
Thank you so much Monica, In really appreciate that!
I actually working on rolling these out in podcast form for that very reason, hoping for it to be released in July! So look out for that ☺️🙏🏻✨

Thank you for these words!
You’re not alone in that swing... from “I shouldn’t feel this” to “maybe it’s just part of me.” I live there more than I don’t.
So glad this piece resonated! ✨🙏🏻
This hits so hard.
Felt this one deeply
Glad it resonated 🫂✨

Why does wanting and desire feel taboo?
