there are so many things that i want. i want to be pretty. i want to be smart. i want to be funny. i want to be rich. i want to be skinny. i want to have a lot of friends. i want to be happy. i want, i want, i want. it's funny to think that this list of "wants" will never run out, but somehow will never be complete. even after i've just given you all my "wants" for the future, i do not know what future i ultimately want. it's a scary thought that in a few years, i'll need to have decided what i want the rest of my life to look like. i understand growing up is inevitable, and that puts a limit to the choices of "wants" we have once we reach adulthood. the hardest decision is made when you stop romanticizing the "wants" and start concentrating on the "needs".
