Need?
Alright, so I have made a resolve... to try to cut down on my use of the words "need" and "have to" in reference to my own life. After all, when I really sit down to think about it, there are very few things I truly "need" or "have to" have. I already have awesome friends, a good job, I have done so much cool stuff that most people my age can't, my family is (on the whole) together and happy, I have good grades in school and (hopefully) the means to get into a really good college. As much as I do have the occasional bad day, nervous breakdown, or failure, I do have a good life. At the very least, I have the basic necessities (food, clean water, a nice house). How many people don't even have that much? By all accounts, it's quite a few!! Although as of now I lack the means to do much about this, at the very least I can make this minor change.
