It's just a strong desire
Life can be survived without it
Unsatisfied can feel like death
But still, be grateful
It is not a need
Nothing to cry about
Feels like something is missing
But what is desired no one can satisfy it
Still, be thankful
And try to stop thinking about it
Don't go crazy worrying about it
It's nothing more than a want
Learn how to manage the blessings that are already there
Don't seek out something that is not there
The heart will not be able to bear
Spare the heartbreak
Care for the heart, mind, and soul
Desires can have a stronghold
So, just be grateful and thankful

Miss Persephone's Manual to a Seemingly Ordinary Life
Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.

I like how you say desires aren't needs. I've been there, wanting something so bad it felt like I couldn't breathe. But then I realized I had to focus on what I already had. How do you think we can better manage our desires and focus on the blessings around us? It's important to take care of our hearts, minds, and souls like you said. When we stop chasing after things we can't have, we might find more peace. Have you ever found that to be true in your own life?
Being thankful and greatful for good things is a good attitude to have. Thought provoking words
