There are times when I agonise over what I want in life. Do I want a Masters degree? Do I want a steady job, or an exciting career? Am I content with staying in one place forever, or do I need to see the world before I can decide where to call home?
My life is riddled with questions. Questions that still go unanswered.
But sometimes... it isn't quite so complex. Some of the things that I want? I already have them.
I like having someone to love, with someone who loves me back. I like hanging out with friends, just chatting or watching a movie or just passing time doing different things, yet still appreciating the company of each other. I like studying - learning new and different things everyday. I like working, and being able to face challenges thrown at me.
I don't need a big house to live in, I just need a family that will make the house warm and cosy even in the coldest of winters. I don't need romantic dinners, just someone special who would share dinner with me even if it's just a peanut butter sandwich. I don't need fancy degrees, as long as I'm able to enjoy what I'm studying. I don't need friends who organise parties, just friends who are there even when the parties end.
So yeah, I do know what I want in life. I want happiness and laughter, and embarrassing moments, and tears and anger... I want to be able to say I have done this, or seen that, or struggled through pain and survived. I want all that life has to offer, because life is there to be lived.
