## Content

What I want. What I need. What is. The difference between “what is” and everything else can’t be measured. But it can be felt. In the plummeting sensation in the chest cavity. In feeling like a fragile piece of glass at risk of breaking. Or like moving in slow motion through molasses. It’s not fun. But I have a choice. I can’t change what is. So I slowly, painfully, regretfully, and mournfully seek to let go of what is wanted. Maybe even of what is needed. To perhaps allow room for something else, as yet unseen and unknown, to emerge.
