This feels for me like one of the huge issues around social media. People use social media platforms to lecture others on the right way to be. The right thoughts, beliefs, routines, habits, political affiliations, diet, way to be in relationship, way to support their cause… the list is endless.

But what if you don’t know what you enjoy? Does anyone really know what would make them happy in life? I’m not sure I do.
