Needs and Wants

All of us have our own needs and wants. But which one is more essential? Which one is more important to you? In life you need to define what is your needs and what is you wants. Basic examples of needs are for instance water, shelter, food, etc.. basically u need these things to survive. Basic example of wants are for instance the latest mp3 player, branded stuff, latest fashion accessories,etc... these are just wants. You dont need those stuff to survive. They are merely items you want for yourself. Basically whatever i've mentioned so far are stuff you should already know. So what's the point of my entry actually?

This week i've been thinking a lot about needs and wants. My needs and wants. What i need in my life right now and what i want in my life. I guess everything depends on what circumstance a person is in. Sometimes what you want isnt the best solution and what you need doesnt always come easily. And sometimes what you want and what you need may be the same.

It is very easy for a person to list down what they want in their life right now. For me what i want is to be studying something i have great interest in and truly enjoy, i want a person i can share everything with and feel safe and loved, i want my family to be unburdened from all the bad tides that we've been going thru, i want my mum to slow down and take a break cause i know how tired she is, i want to be able to do what i love to do........ the list can get longer if i allow it to be but then as i look back at this list i wonder if any of these wants would ever happen cause i realise sometimes we can never get what we want...

Needs. Needs is something that has to be done, need to have or have to happen. What i need is to do well for my semestral exams, i need more sleep, i need to help support my family, i need to be a better sister and daugher, i need to stop worrying to much, i need to push all my bad thoughts to the back of my head cause it has been affecting my work, i need a new pair of glasses cause i'm going blind.... this list can go on too if i allow it. The thing is what we need to do can't happen immediately. It takes time. It takes effort.

Actually at this point i have no idea where i'm going with this entry cause my brain is too tired to continue... i guess i'll just re-edit this entry after i get some rest and able to think straight =)

.The Writer.

I love standing in the rain, letting the feel of raindrops caress feverish skin, letting it wash away my thoughts, worries and pain. I love the feel of sand between my toes, the cool wind whispering in my ear, the soothing sound of the sea, the warmth of a hug. I love anything vintage, historical, mysterious and magical. I like to laugh, I like freedom and happiness, I like the idea of romance, being swept off my feet and happy endings. I currently have no idea where i'm going but i know i'll get where i'm suppose to be in due time. I want things i cant have, I dream of things that can never be but i'm too afraid to leave the things i'm familiar with even when i know i'm adaptable to change. I can be the person you love or hate, like or loath, admire or envy. I am not perfect,
I am just me.
