My journey was inspired by three things, actually!
1. The desire to let go of my vanity (some of it, anyway) -- I wanted to learn how to accept things as they were.
2. The desire to master patience -- I've always been a very impatient, tempermental person, so yeah.
3. The desire to put down roots -- This is purely symbolical, but still. Shortly after I started dreading, I moved away from a bad situation and to a town where I'd like to start over and establish a new life. Put down roots, if you will.
