Great essay! As always, I find your writing to be so insightful, generous and honest. To add a pop culture reference, I often think of a lyric from Sheryl Crow, “It's not having what you want. It's wanting what you've got.”
Thank you! During my school years I would spend time every day dreaming about what I wanted to have and that sense of appreciation for when I don't have it, and when I eventually do. Expressing my gratitude for both occasions is all I wish to explain and extract joy from and share with you. I'm glad you do too.
