New wish, old wish
You can draw a picture if the wish involved somebody else. What if you wrote a thank you letter to them and said, thank you so much for bringing this into my life, and I'm done with it now, and I'm sending it back to you. It never was mine. I had it for a while, and now it's yours. And then. So what do you do with this? You can burn it and let it go

And I want to wish it a good home inside of me. So it's a constant negotiation. But for years it was associated with a loss, a loss of not getting the wishes I had where music was front and center of my life
A lot of us squash down who we are, are in pursuit of the ideal or the perfect, or whatever that image is or whatever we've been led to believe that it is. And one of the big things I do in my work is I help people examine their relationship to that and get back in touch with what they lost of themselves in the pursuit. And I say the sentence all the time, that who you are is really good
