Life is like an hourglass...Eventually everything hits the bottom and all you have to do is wait it out until someone comes along and turns it around...

Want VS Need

I find myself saying "I want" waayyyy more than I say "I need". Which, I guess, could be a good thing. Maybe I have most of the things I NEED already...Maybe some of the things I want are some of the things I need too... This list should help me figure it out!

WANTS!

I want to go back to school.
I want to get another (Hopefully, good paying) job.
I want to go on a nice vacation with my hubby.
I want another pet.
I want to have children.
I want to buy a house.
I want to learn photography.
I want to get another tattoo.
I want to get my lip pierced.
I want to run a marathon...or at least try.
I want a backyard.
I want to travel.
I want to live in another state and not be terrified to actually move.
I want to teach.
I want to have a REAL wedding.
I want to wake up everyday and be proud of where I am!


NEEDS!

I need to go back to school.
I need another job.
I need to buy a house.
I need to get out of California and experience life!
I need to have children. (Yes, need.)
I need to get out of my comfort zone.
I need to find what makes me happy.
I NEED to wake up everyday and be proud of where I am!


Alright, alright...So, a lot of my wants are quite superficial. But that's what makes them "Wants", right? I am allowed to have things I want but don't necessarily need. Plus, some of my wants are also things that I feel like I need too...So, I guess I have things a little more figured out than I thought.
Sometimes, I just feel like there is a war inside myself. Each side has the right to stand up and fight, I just can't decide which side I want to be on. See, there's that "want" again...Should it be which side I "need" to be on??
This is where I get stuck...This is where I decide to sit idly by and watch both sides kill each other...This is what leaves me with nothing...
