    Sounds like you are going to be NEEDING a lot more things :mrgreen:
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    I'm trying to pair down my life... and I should only focus on NEEDS.... the WANTS get in the way.

    i actually completely disagree with that statement. the 'wants' are what add a lot of desire and purpose and drive to life.....needs are merely survival tools. i am all about the enjoyment of life, and that definitely encompasses 'wants'....and i also don't see it as a complication to a pared, down and simple life. that said, i can absolutely understand someone choosing to move away from 'wants' for the time being anyway, regroup, refocus.....and then sure, get back into some wants, because wanting can be very, very rewarding and fun. ;)


    life is balance!
    :mrgreen:
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    there's not always a lot of time to focus on the I want this I want that life style.... sure it's fun, but to me it much more important to focus on the needs in my life. I NEED strong relationships with friends, to be independent and support myself...etc.

    sometimes the I WANTS get in the way of I need.... such as... I want that new car cause it'll make me feel better... instead of finding out what it is you NEED to feel better that the car is filling the void of.

    I was raised in a lower-lower middle class household... but was fortunate enough to marry a man who put us in a upper- upper middle class home. I NEED to shed my habits that I've acquired and rediscover who I am behind the wants.

    when i discuss 'wants'...i am not even discussing the 'superficials' at all. but seeing this, i now understand what you are saying...and yes, that sounds like a completely healthy and necessary thing to do! when i talk 'wants'...it's more about experiences than things.....and many, many of em...don't cost a dime.

    well i am a master rationalizer...and a hedonist...so yea....... :mrgreen:
    anyhoo, i say....try not to focus too much on any of it as 'vocabulary'....and just focus on YOU, life, living...and sure that encopasses wants and needs, but a whole lot of other things too. i don't think it's necessary to cut off words, or experiences, to pare down and focus more intently on your life. you're must definteily in a time of flux, so don't cut yourself off from anything...just BE...ride the wave where it takes you. :)

    same here... I used to be a bit of a 'stuff' person... but I've long grown out of that phase of my life and it's fantastic... I can keep my money towards experiences rather than spend it on something which will only give me pleasure for about a day... it's very easy to get rid of the physical wants and focus on the emotional wants :D and MUCH more satisfying :D
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you
