I don't know about the rest of you out there, but I know for a fact that I am not the same person I was a year ago, much less when I was a child. This might sound redundant but what we want is different from what we need and what we think we need is different from what is good for us. I can use many examples to illustrate my point but given the mood I am in right now, I'll use relationships to make my case.
Nod if any of these apply to you; have you ever been in love? Have you ever fallen for someone outside your comfort zone ? The kind of person you always warned yourself about? How many nods did you get ? 2? 3 ? .
We always tell ourselves the best lies, because apparently those are the only ones we are willing to believe. Funny how all the resolutions fly out the door when the right person comes along. They say the right words, do all the right things, dang! They even smell great and before you know it you are serving them your heart on a silver platter. It's happened to almost all of us and since nothing in written in stone, it's bound to happen again.
Need versus want
I want person who does this and not that. Translation; I need somebody.
I want someone who won't take advantage of me:translation I need someone who can tolerate me
I want someone who loves me for who I am : translation I need someone who can judge me nicely.
My point is, we don't really know what we want till we get it or someone invents it then you realize what it is you've been missing all this while. making up your mind about something you haven't yet felt is plain crazy. Live life the way it was meant to be lived, one day at a time.

I certainly agree, " we don't really know what we want till we get it or someone invents it then you realize what it is you've been missing all this while"
