Reached for: Quince
“The good things are coming to me, they always have, I just have to want them enough.”
It shows up as an appetite that expects to be met, the loving and the living and the lavish anticipated as a birthright, because early over-indulgence taught that wanting is the same as receiving. The expectation is sincere, and the disappointment when the world does not deliver is genuine bewilderment. What it asks for is the discovery that a want is a request, not a decree.
Sardanapalus, reclining amid every luxury as though abundance were simply the weather he was owed, until the walls were breached. The form implies a task: to earn a part of what one expects to be handed.
