I love this reframe, Diana. You've given me a lot to think about, and I'm looking forward to listening to your conversation with Andrea.

Choices & consequences, as you say are active.

Hopes & dreams are basically the passive version of the same thing, as you so correctly and eloquently say, things we are encouraged to entertain by our neo capitalist societies.

My life has been full of choices & consequences, which I wouldn’t change, or hardly in the slightest given the option, but sometimes they are a struggle; mostly when loved ones are struggling in some way, on the other side of the world.

It was helpful to be reminded of this.

Thank you.

I’m in agreement, Lee. Those are the most difficult moments - when we’re so far away at times of need. We’re so fortunate to experience how wonderful this world actually is, and there are still moments of hurt and doubt . We push through them the best we can. 🧡

Yes! Oh how I relate to (nearly) every word of this.

I can imagine, Laura. Living this kind of life brings such clarity on this point. 🧡

I love this almost as much as I loved our conversation about this. I'm still thinking about all of it and am sure I will be for a long time to come. Thank you.
