What we want and what we need

Want and need. Simple words, but refer to greed.

What is it that you want? Money? Friends? Family? Solitude?

What is it that you need? Money? Friends? Family? Solitude?

We all want and need many things. So what is the difference? The significance?

Wanting and needing are two different concepts and ideas.

What I want is to be free of the daily burdens of following a never ending routine.

What I want is to get away from the endless schedules and timeframes.

Where can I go to receive all that I want and need? Home.

Home is the one thing I could never live without.

Not the physical object, but what’s inside it that truly holds a special place in my heart forever.

Home is where life happens.

The wonders of the everyday hustle and bustle.

The magic of the soft ending days.

The night time crawls over the home ever so slowly; it’s dark.

The only thing keeping you safe in this house, is family.

Without them, you wander the world alone and afraid of what obstacles you could come across.

Never knowing how to overcome them, alone.

What I want and what I need are very different ideas,

But what we want and what we need are combined into what we cannot be without.
