Wants versus needs.
(yep; we’re here again)

                                             We want life to be easy, neat.
                                                             You don’t? I do:

                                                                                                             I like Container Store sales and Alaskan springtime linen spray and dusted vehicle interiors. But I’m not convinced that’s what I need.            
                                        (as I type this, a small part of me is dying)

                            Sometimes, we need the mess.
                                               We need the proverbial room turned upside, sink overflowing with dishes. We need them to remind us: when we give up wishing for the life we want, we can achieve the life we need,

           the life with all its cracks and stains,
           real life.
