what I've noticed about being wanted, how it changes the way I perceive what's possible for myself. not that it removes scarcity, but that being sought out makes the world feel less like an inventory of what's depleted, more like there's something in me worth the reaching. the specific texture of that shift: less vigilance, more openness; less taking-account, more presence. what it means to feel like someone's target, their wanted thing, and how that rewires what I can even see as available to me.
