needs and wants

I’ve been spending a lot of time in my room and the backyard just reading.  I haven’t had access to the internet or TV for awhile and I really love it.  I’ve just been self reflecting a lot lately and it feels good.  I’ve been focusing on the wants and needs of my life.  I’ve realized that the wants of my life are sort of a distraction for me right now.  I want to travel, I want to be in a relationship, I want objects, I want be this and that but is it really necessary at this point?  It’s not what I need.  I need my friends, family, self reflection, change, honesty, etc…  See the difference.  My wants are the things that one day I will get.  I don’t need to rush it.  My needs are not the materials things but more of virtues and people.  At this point, this is what I need.  I need more of honesty especially when it comes to myself.  I need more days to self reflect.  I need more heart to hearts with my friends and family.  I need moments where I can create memories with others.  I need to be at peace with myself and I am starting to understand what that means.  I need more time to write.  I missed writing so much.  Focus on what you really need in life, the wants will always be there but the needs are so limited.  Take advantage once it’s still there.
