Poor Wishes

"You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you get what you need"
Needing and wanting, are they meant to be different? Why? Because we don't want what we necessarily need? I think we want things because we need them. But we don't allow ourselves to believe we need it because of what can happen to us if we don't get it. When you want someone to love you, you make yourself believe that it is selfish or not worth thinking that you need it. Because needing love is weak right? Desperate? Needing success is bullshit right? Because you can live happily ever after being mediocre or satisfied with "okay-ness". fuck that. I think needing things make them more powerful. Makes you more powerful. Let yourself need something and feel like you are dying when you don't get it. Then you'll need something even more and fight even harder just so you don't feel that way ever again. If you don't ache for something and sacrifice a part of you to get it then you're not really living. Who gives a shit if you fail. Stop worrying about who will judge you if you don't get it or if you don't deserve it. The only person that can judge you is yourself, and even then try not to. It's easier said than done and this is not coming from a person that is good at this. But I believe that it is okay to allow yourself to need people, things, goals, accomplishments, love, jealousy, hate, food, chocolate, clothes,sex, money, hunger, loneliness. Yes, sometimes you need things that make you feel like shit or selfish. That's what makes needing things that are "good" for you even more worth while. Who is to say what's good or bad anyway. But thats another conversation.
