Your exploration of separating “shoulds” from authentic desires is so relatable, especially as you unpack how societal conditioning can blur the lines between what we truly want and what’s expected of us. The idea of questioning even simple pleasures—like grocery shopping or cooking—is profound. It invites us to examine not just our actions but the roots of our motivations.

Do you find that these small acts of discernment ripple out into larger areas of your life, reshaping your goals or relationships in unexpected ways?
