i realised that there are a lot of things i want that i don't really need and there's no actual reason for WHY i want it. i just do. at the time when i want it i will REALLY REALLY want it, but even if i don't get it, it's okay. after i while i'll just forget it. but the crucial point is at the time when i want it. it'll be really appealing, especially if something/someone tells me that i shouldn't have/do/buy/whatever it.


like for example piercing my ears. i really wanted to do it then, like REALLY REALLY wanted to. i even got all the jewellery shop names and addresses ready. but then my parents said no and i felt sad. for 1 week. then it was all okay again.


and now i feel like buying the coloured hair wax i saw in an advertisement yesterday. but thinking about it, do i really need it? not really. and when i actually get it i'll probably use it once, then forget i have such a thing/feel weird using it/think it's childish/etc.


i also realised that when you really want something, you twist the consequences in the way that it complements what you want and only gives you the benefits of having/doing/buying/whatevering something. many a time i have promised that i will use something well. 1 month later: i have that?!(and now my actual topic - responsibility. haha no i'm just kidding. but funny how it all relates.)


there's a fine line between need and want. maybe more people should go looking for it.
