What You Need
“You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need.”
― Mick Jagger
When have you found that you got what you needed rather than what you wanted?

How have you managed the longing for something you shouldn’t have?
Starving
“Desire is the kind of thing that
eats you
and
leaves you starving.”
― Nayyirah Waheed
When has desire lead you toward starvation rather than fulfillment?
Half
“Desire is half of life; indifference is half of death.”
― Kahlil Gibran
Where do you see indifference leading toward death?
