I had a conversation with a couple of people a few weeks ago. We were discussing what we wanted out of life. I think my point of view threw them totally. So often these days people want a new car, a nice house, a foreign holiday, a new gadget (phone, TV, music player, etc.) All of the material stuff means very little to me. I am not interested in owning stuff or being massively successful. Yes I want a roof over my head, clothes on my back, food in my belly and to be good at the job I have. Despite having lived with very little for so long, I don't crave possessions.
What I want now is the same thing I have always wanted. I want someone to love me. I want to be with someone who wants to be around me. Someone who will show me affection. Someone who will take care of my basic needs as I want to do for him. In a world where everything seems based on wealth and success, my meagre aspiration seems very sad, but in all honesty that feeling of being held in someone's arms is all I need.
