Want

Why do we always want what we can't have? It seems like it's that time of year. The time to want. It seems that the past few days I keep seeing things or thinking about things I want. I'll catch myself giving something that longing look. I detest that feeling deep down where you really desire something but it's not healthy. You can desire good things and it feels different. It's only when you want unrealistic things or bad things that the desire feels bad. I really annoy myself when I want like that.

Why can't I just be happy with what I have? After all, tomorrow might be my last day of life. So why waste any time wanting? Maybe I even need to stop looking so as not to even give myself the chance to want. Deep down I really just want to be content. I'm so lucky to be where I am, to have what I have. I need to work on seeing the good side of things. I need to give more so I want less.

Yes, I'm being purposely vague about what I want...don't ask.
