i want, i want
i'm fighting a want to be disobedient. i'm fighting a nasty side breeze of "take that." i know why, but it's not important.
conversation yesterday about wants and needs. i've been reminded so many times that what i want is not always relevant. rarely, even. what i want, muttered under my breath in small breaths is slapped out of me because it is just a want. but my wants do not go away, despite the fact that they remain unvoiced.
how to measure a want against a need?
i'm not always that smart.

Oh, God....the eternal slave struggle..how *do* we separate wants from needs..and how long do wants go unfulfilled before they become a need?
You may, sweet slave sister..have inspired my weekend blog post...i have been suffering from serious writer's block and this topic truly speaks to me now!
Thank you for sharing your voice!
