Because I sincerely lack creative thought lately, due to the overflow of worries and anxiety that I’ve been dealing with, I was looking at topics to write about. I came upon one that sincerely puzzled me. What is important to me? Of course I could answer the usual and generic answers; my family, my friends…and as much as that would be true, it just wouldn’t be the answer I believe that question deserves. It would be pointless to just answer those things, without questioning the question itself.

Now, I have never been one to believe in self reliance. I think it is healthiest to have people around you, people that you can trust and people that you can Love. I don’t think that humans function well without Love, Companionship, etc…however, that is not to say that they don’t function. All we need is oxygen and sustenance. We all value friendship and family, but they are not things that we need. So, should the things that are most important to you in your life be the things that you need or the things that you want?

I do not need Music, but I value it above most things. I do not need my family, but I value and love them more than words can express. I do not need my friends, but sometimes I feel as though I would go insane without them.

They are all important to me but they are not what I need. This is just me going on a pointless tangent, but I need to know what the true defintion of these words are. Love, Importance, Value. Does anyone truly know?
