I resonate so much with this - as an enneagram 7 - longing/drive/"more" is a constant hum I've grown to befriend, get curious about and as you are, meet with compassion. thank you for this wonderful post!

Thank you, Kerry! It's so funny that you bring up the enneagram, as it was a big inspiration for this post. I was recently reading about my type (4), and read that for this type longing rooted in disconnection from being is a key theme as well. Interesting to know that this applies to other types, but not surprising - I always assumed this was a shared human condition, rather than specific to a personality type.

I would gently suggest that what you’re longing for is inside of you… and has been all along.

Hi Korie, I'm glad that we came to the same conclusion and a little less glad that it wasn't clear from the ending of this piece. It seems I can be more explicit :)
