[ John will do, as dogs often do, a little shimmy squirm up to nuzzle against Hanna's shoulder as he lays next to him on the carpet. ]
Most people say that every journey is different and that's true. But I've noticed some things that seem to be the same among people who care a lot.
[ He'll twist his head to nuzzle a little, because he knows even if he keeps his voice gentle, Hanna might not like what he has to say. ]
Think about the things you're keeping: do they actually serve you and make your life better, or are you just afraid of what will happen if you don't keep them? How many things are you doing not because you want to, but because something in you says that you have to or you 'should' or 'that's just how it is'?
Ask yourself who's benefiting from you doing that... because it might be nobody. It might be you trying to 'pay' for things that you can never entirely pay for. Or even things you shouldn't have to pay for.
Think about how much you love and care for people: are you making sure to take care of yourself like someone loves you that much? If not, that might be something that needs to change. And when you come upon things that feel like it's a different way to live your life, a new idea, but it still feels like you? Try it out. I think it's less about planning for the future and more about feeling all the way to your toes that you can make one you like living in just because.
