There are differences between a Need, a Want, and a Wish.
I Need air and water and food and sleep (some of these things more than others…some I make due with less)
I Want to make my personal goal weight (working on it, slowly but surely), I want to save enough money to visit my Beloved Nephew (working on that too), and I want to eventually work up the courage to write that damned book that the Beloved Nephew keeps hounding me to write!
I Wish I could win the lottery. I wish I could have met Alan Rickman before he passed away, and I wish Chester Bennington was still alive.
See the differences yet?
Needs are things I have to have to continue to live. Air, food, water, sleep…all necessary to life. All things I MUST have, no joke, no choice, no substitutions.
Wants are things I’d like in my life, but have to work for. I get that, and don’t have a problem with working for the things I want.
Wishes are things that are amorphous and probably not going to happen, at least not anytime soon, if at all. I can wish as hard as I want on a million stars…but it will never bring Alan or Chester back. And the lottery is – kind of a long shot.
I Want a partner to share in my life…but I don’t Need a man to continue to live…I just Wish I could figure out what the hell is going on. Hot and cold, talkative one day, then silence.
After the last 4 years, and all the broken promises E put me through, then the manipulation, the guilt, the breakup & the stalking…I was Hoping for something a little better, something a little easier.
I Need Clarity.
I Want Honesty
I Wish he’d talk to me, instead of shutting me out, like he promised he wouldn’t do.
I Deserve better than this.
Get it?
