Because I feel like what I want and what I need are never the same things, usually.
there are dreamy things that i want really, but they don't make/dictate my happines or my needs or wants.
i figure, those things i can do if i have the time, space and money but those are small dreamy things.
i figure, dreaming are for those who are asleep all the time, and the people who are awake are the ones that turn their dreams into reality. so if i get the chance, those dreamy things will happen. but they aren't needs, or even a want, because they don't guide those things. and if don't, i'm not losing out.
my needs are the things i want that i can obtain. i need to be active. i'm a human being, so i have my hobbies that i, well, invest in. go big or go home is my theory. i need a job. it may not be a dream job, but i love working, and i like what i do a lot. i need clothes, so i'll buy nice clothes that i can afford. i need passions, so i fulfill that with the things i consider my passions. i need physical intimacy, so i'll get it when the time is right. i need a place to live, so i'll choose a place to live that i like, that i want.
to me, needs and wants equal the same thing. there is no differeniating between the two. the only way one can do that is to see the bad ways they live, and i'm tired of living bad/messing up. so that is a whole different topic to me.
