Wants.

But as tough as wanting something is, the ones who have it hardest are the ones who don't know what they want.

When I saw that for the first time, I thought, "You know, that's really true." People who don't know what they want often just wind up wandering aimlessly, doing what other people want them to or what other people think they should do. I was recently asked if I knew what I wanted, and then told that when you know what you want it's a lot easier to find. So let's see what I want:

I want to find happiness. With someone or just single. I want good friends and I want them to be happy too. I want to be comfortable within my own skin. And I want someone to love that skin, and everything underneath. I want to have a normal life, with enough money to get by. I want a job that I enjoy and that I'm good at.

I want love. I want to love someone and I want to be loved in return. I want complete and unadulterated love. I want to be able to have someone to hold me in their arms after a hard day, and I want to be able to comfort them as well. I want to be touched. I want to be kissed with passion. I want to have amazing sex; to please and be pleased. I want to have someone to share stories and big life events with.

Doesn't really seem like a stretch. Doesn't everyone want these things?

Unfortunately, knowing what you want and knowing what the best way to get it are two different things. I feel like spelling it out doesn't make it easier to find. It just makes everything that doesn't quite stack up more confusing.
