“I think the hard part to answer your question is defining what you want. I think that is so easy to say. And so impossibly hard to do; to get clear on what you want. In my experience, which I can talk to, is the reason that was so hard is because there were things in my life that I knew I didn't want, that I was living with every day. That was a job and a relationship for me at the time. And so to write, what my future would look like would be to write that those two things aren't there. And that was so confronting because I was too scared to do anything about both of those things. I was too scared to end the relationship, and I was too scared to end the job at that time. And so that for me was the fear was the recognition that I'm not living the life now that I want to live is I think it'd be really confronting for people. It could be quite jarring. And then to actually put that down is like the next step of wishing that into existence… It can really rock your identity, I think is probably why it's really hard.”
