To read is to remember that you don't live alone in this world.
C.S. Lewis
Your Year of the Honest Want. This is the year you stop negotiating with yourself about what you actually want, which turns out to be more fun than it sounds. You've been very reasonable for a while now, very patient, very strategic about which wants count as real wants. That ends around May, and what follows is a specific kind of relief. A decision you've been softening at the edges for months turns crisp overnight. By late summer, something you chose for comfort reveals the price tag it was hiding, and you recognize it immediately and choose differently, without drama. The version of you that knows exactly what it wants shows up in a November conversation and surprises everyone in the room, including you. The year rewards that clarity more than it rewards the careful, comfortable hedge.
