I still work, but not always from hunger

Dear Delyara, This is what has shifted. Work remains. Discipline remains. Continuation remains. But hunger — that bright internal wanting — is less available than it used to be. Some parts of my life are still powered by momentum, responsibility, or old structure rather than living desire. And that difference is beginning to matter more than I want it to. I miss wanting from the center. Not from fear. Not from obligation. Not from proving. From the center. That’s the part I feel farthest from some days.
