"Would you stop thinking about what everyone wants? Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do you want? What do you want?"
-- The Notebook
Right now, I'm conflicted about my true wants. That's probably why I haven't blogged in days and finals of course. I now have true time to myself, sort of.
Wants and needs are very different things. God and my parents fill my basic needs for food, water, and shelter and also love even when I leave my keys in the ignition with the door unlocked in the school parking lot. :) True story ha.
Wants sometimes disguise themselves as needs to get you to WANT them more. A clever trick. I've learned that I don't really need my UGG boots no matter how much I love wearing them or I don't really need to eat Chipotle every day of my life even if it tastes SO good.
But what about when it comes to choosing between two wants when you know you can only have one? There's my true dilemma. I don't know what to do. There are pros and cons to both sides and I've truly seen that in the past few days. My best friends all have their opinions, but I'm still so lost. I've been praying and I'm hoping God shows me the answer very soon before I'm in way over my head. :/
Wants are difficult to satisfy because you won't ever BE satisfied.

Yes great post. I think Sheryl Crow said it best, "It's not about getting what you want, it is about wanting what you got". I imagine everything I want that isn't here exists in spirt and it will all come eventually.
