There’s a song that’s been echoing in our hearts lately—What I Want by MUNA. It’s more than just a melody; it’s a call, a whisper, a fierce declaration of desire and truth. When we listen, we don’t just hear one voice—we hear our voice, the voice of all of us who have ever dared to want more, to want differently, to want deeply.

This song reminds us that what we want isn’t always loud or flashy. It’s not about fitting into someone else’s mold or chasing a checklist of achievements. What we want is sacred. It’s the quiet, persistent pulse beneath the noise—the longing for connection, for freedom, for authenticity.

In this space, we come together to honor that longing. We recognize that we are the keepers of our own desires, and that those desires are holy. As the scripture says in Psalm 37:4, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” This isn’t about wishful thinking—it’s about aligning with the deepest parts of ourselves and trusting that the universe, God, or whatever higher power we believe in, is conspiring with us.

We want to be seen—not just for what we do, but for who we are. We want to love and be loved without conditions. We want to walk our own paths, even when they’re uncertain or unconventional. MUNA’s song is a mirror, reflecting back to us the courage it takes to say, “This is what I want.”

And here’s the beautiful truth: when we claim our desires together, we create a sacred space for transformation. We remind each other that wanting is not selfish; it’s an act of faith. It’s the soul’s way of saying, I am here. I am alive. I am worthy.

In Jeremiah 29:11, we find this promise: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.” What we want is part of that divine plan. Our desires are not random—they are the seeds of our becoming.

So, let’s hold hands in this moment and say it out loud, together: This is what we want. Not just the easy or expected, but the real, the raw, the radiant. We want to live fully, love fiercely, and shine unapologetically.

Let MUNA’s song be our anthem, our prayer, our declaration. Because when we speak our truth as one, the world listens—and the path forward becomes clear.

What do we want?
To be seen.
To be loved.
To be free.

And so it is.

— In love and light, always.
