Being needed vs. wanted

One of my insecurities is my odd obsession with being wanted, instead of needed. I would build up, in my head, that if there's a "need" instead of a "want", it lessens the value. But, that really isn't so. It's just different. And often times, the situation can change from being needed, to wanted; and visa versa.

I have to remind myself that the reasons don't really matter.

I put too much importance in this and I know it's what holds me back from having closer relationships with people. That I question if they want to be around me, or if they have some sort of need.

I've been feeling quite balanced in my physical and emotional states. No high peaks, or low valleys. I feel happy, and grateful so it keeps me more grounded so I don't crash haha.

I'm reading a wonderful book that Deb recommended called, The Big Leap. I'm about mid-way through, and it really gets you thinking about your life and how much control you have over every aspect of it. I highly recommend the read for everyone.

I'll write snippets that really spoke to me later. I have to go back with my highlighter since I didn't have one with me when I started reading lol. Double work, yay!
