WANT.

This is a picture of some random people's to do lists. I went to this list/book reading at a rather sultry cafe where the editor of a compilation and analysis of lists was holding a release party. It was rather interesting and caused a lot of introspection. With my overly analytical mind, I noticed several things which I shall naturally list for you:

1. I focus on myself a lot

2. Usually this focus is not positive

3. I would like to broaden my perspective

4. I like the sense of order/control that making lists gives me

That's pretty much the tip of a very small iceberg. I'd like to discuss #1 in depth, however.

I focus on what I want a lot. Hence, the title of this blog. I WANT. all the time.

I walk down the street. I see a cute guy. I DESIRE him.

I'm in a store. I see a cool outfit. I COVET it.

I'm thinking about life. I WANT so much.

I want to do, see, experience, have, make

I think what I should focus on is not what I want. But, rather on what is needed. Not necessarily by me, although that is important. I should focus on what the world needs. What my peers need. What is needed for everyone in general. This is a rather abstract view and is strange for me to think about; most likely because of my typically self-centered way of being. I'm in a rather strange mood. Good, kind of. I spent some time enjoying the life of San Francisco and smiling at random strangers. It was wet and my feet were soaking. Somehow, it didn't seem to bother me.
