Jar 3: I Want to Want!
In this episode of Quince Marmalade, I explore the longing we all feel during the holidays — the ache for meaning, purpose,inspiration, and a life that feels alive. As I stir my warm quince marmalade and dream of pancakes and Italian coffee, I reflect on how easily we fall into monotony, numbness, and the endless waiting for happiness that never seems to come.
I speak honestly about the sadness of the season, thepressure around food and body image, the loneliness that haunts December, and the quiet despair of living a life that feels too small for the soul inside you. I explore the deeper meaning of desire, motivation, existential longing, spiritual awakening, and the hunger for a life filled with beauty, purpose, and dreams.
This episode is about breaking out of routine, refusing alife lived from weekend to weekend, and rediscovering the divine spark within us — the spark that wants to create, to feel, to rise, to want more than consumption and repetition. I reflect on how society has lost its meaning, how holidays have become empty rituals, and how we must reclaim our passion for being alive.
Through storytelling, imagination, and emotional honesty, IInvite you to reconnect with your wildest desires — the ones that call you toward art, love, beauty, travel, inspiration, and your true essence. Whether dreaming of Capri, the scent of the Mediterranean, or the music of a mandolin, this jar of marmalade is about awakening the soul’s appetite for life.
If you’ve been feeling numb, tired, stuck, or uninspired,this episode is your reminder:
You are meant to want. You are meant to live. You are meant for more.
