Well. I'll end with a reaaaaally good stanza from a poem, so you'll have to keep reading to get there.
I love looking at people's tumblrs, but I don't have one. I feel like if I did, nobody would enjoy looking at it. It'd just be there, collecting dust and no followers. Yeah, I know tumblr is way more hopping than blogspot, but... I'm not ready to give up this blog.
I have a few things that i really want, and then I'll tell you why I feel horribly guilty. Pictures of the things I want:
Why I feel guilty: some peole dont even have enough to EAT or a clean place to bathe or fresh water, and I want a cute blouse thats about sixty bucks and some makeup thats about 45? I feel really really guilty for WANTING. because wants and needs are different. I need food and water and clothes and shelter. I want cute clothes that coest bunches, a pretty house where i have my own room, yummy food, and loads and loads of other things. I still want the makeup (I'm obsessed, its perfect!) but i dont want to want things. I want to be content. And I'm sure I'll be happy whether or not I get it. But can you blame me for wanting? Even a starving person would like something that tastes good, right?
Poem time!
CHASING THE BIRD
the sun sets unevenly and the people
go to bed.
the night has a thousand eyes.
the clouds are low, overhead.
every night is a little bit
more difficult, a little
harder. My mind
to me a mangle is.
by robert creely, one of the Beat Poets
just got your letter today=)
ReplyDeleteaaand i get what you mean about the wanting, but people want what they need, too, so the wanting isn't the crime in the least, at least not in my opinion. savvy?
and i had oodles of time today, which means your letter will be arriving shortly!
love,
anna
want isn't necessarily bad.

I think when want controls your actions and turns into greed, then you've got a problem.
