Wants Vs. Needs

The things I need I never want.

I always want what I can't have. It's a challenge.

My life is full of wants, but not necessarily things I need.

The things I want aren't always the things I need.

What happens when you get what you want, but not what you need?

What if you get what you need, but it's not what you want?

How do you combine the two? It is one of life's challenges.

I save money for the things I want, but not the things I need. I'll be damned if I'll spend my own hard earned money on groceries, but I don't mind blowing $285 on a pair of jeans. Figure that one out.

I want to be alone, but I need people around me while I am doing it.

I want constant reassurance about my looks, but I need somebody to look past them and see who I really am. I get pissed off when guys say that I'm hot, yet I need my friends to tell me constantly that they think I'm pretty. How messed up is that? It also pisses my friends off.

I want to believe in myself, but I need to find a way how to do that.

How do I get what I want and what I need at the same time?
