What do I want?

"Choose a keyword for yourself, some word or phrase that really captures the spirit of that for which you are longing. It's probably hidden deep in the inner world, underneath all of the seemingly countless other desires and words that have been programmed in as acceptable, proper desires. It's a longing that has been there a long time, a very long time. It was probably there in early childhood. It was with you in adolescence. It is still there. But what do you call it? What is that single word or phrase that draws you back to that felt longing."

I'm still figuring out my word. Do you have one?

Happiness - that's the ultimate I long for.

clarity is "in" at this moment in my life - it has to bring me the knowing of happiness, joy, passion... and the abundance of it all...

I don't know

But because of the thread title, someone has to post: Bird!

For me, currently, it's "bridge."

My home is a triangle of courage, compassion, and truth, but if you ask for longing or ambition-- bridging gaps.

It's hard to choose just one word. However, I'd have to agree with BlueCrane and say happiness.
