wanting and needing.

 People want everything they can get their hands on. A lot of us will never be happy with what we have and will always want more… It’s sad because we are born with so much already yet it isn’t enough for us. Greed controls us. All of us.

Do you remember when you were growing up and you tried to make a pillow fort out of your couch? Life is kinda like you building a pillow fort if you think about it. You spend your time trying to build up your life with the things you think that are necessary to having a strong life yet your fort falls down all the time. You usually get mad and try to put it back together and learn from your mistakes, so you make improvements to it. Safety pins, tape, your moms old vacuum or broom stick would hold it together just a little better. Then your neighbor comes over and you feel like you’re done and have accomplished so much and you both go in to hangout and as you get in the safety pin falls off with your sheet connecting to the broom touching the main pillow and boom its all gone and you’re back to square one. This is where most people would give up because they didn’t have what they wanted and realized that balding something strong is hard. So why do it alone. I would grab my brother and use his intelligence to my advantage as we tucked the old white sheets under the dust infested couch cushions. Put the rotting broom in the middle to keep it from sagging and bamb you’re done. We grow up thinking we NEED more to do better but you just need a friend. We ll want and need things but the things we search for are far away and we always forget to see whats right in front of our faces, family and friends. They’re their all the time so we don’t take their time for advantage and one day you’ll wake up and they’ll be gone. So stop wanting things that aren’t needed in your life.
