what's funny to me is that people rarely ever know the difference between what they need and what they think they need.
we need to have friends. you need to have people (person) to fall back on. someone that can talk you down from your crazy ideas, push you in the right direction, tell you to stop online shopping or not to eat the last chicken finger. you can't survive without love. i am completely convinced that just knowing someone is thinking about you can just get you through the day sometimes. having someone to say nice things about you is one of the perks of life i think. you have to be smart. not just book smart either, street smart enough to never feel scared and get by in the situations you find yourself in. finally you need money which is something i will continually grapple with seeing as I can barely keep twenty bucks in my pocket now and my future career saving the world has few financial benefits.
the rest of the things life throws at you are just bumps in the road. my biggest problem is making myself realize the difference between what's worthwhile and all the other shit. rather then focus my attention on the important things and work towards them, i constantly find myself loosing sight and getting off track.
i guess spending all this time on vacation sitting around doing nothing has really made me wonder if my priorites are in order. i hope with my whole heart they are, but at the same time i have some fixing up to do.
