Desire gets a bad rap. It makes us do things our parents told us were wrong. It doesn’t like rules and doesn’t abide by the laws of appropriateness. It eats more than a lady should, in more ways than one. It uses good China when there’s no company coming over, and nothing else is so real, true, and so yours. Desire is your own personal treasure map. It is your guide to becoming the person you were meant to be. Desire is not an indulgence, an enemy, an obstacle. It is the only thing that can quench the deepest thirst within you. Get back in touch with your desire. Start with your body. It knows what you want. Listen to the hunger that whispers and the ones that roar. Pay attention to the magnetic fields that draw you toward one person and away from another. Give your thinking mind a mini-retirement and let your sex make your decisions for a day. (Or a month.) Say yes when you want to say yes. Say no when you want to say no. If you don’t know, say maybe. But follow your desires without dumbing them down. They may not lead you where you want to go, but they will never lead you astray.
