Need Vs Wants

I was talking to my friend about gadgets and I was telling him that I wanted to get an Ipod Shuffle. I also said that I wanted to get this second hand phone that was cheap because my blackberry wasn't working anymore. So anyway, he was telling me about getting new gadgets and all and suggested that instead of getting that second hand phone, i could instead get another blackberry.

Sure, I would love to have a new blackberry, or even a pre-loved blackberry. But at the state that i'm in now, i can't afford it. I have other things to worry about, like paying my rent, paying for my car, paying for my gym, and feeding myself that the last thing i want to do is get a new blackberry, though i really want one.

I am lucky to be where i am, I am blessed to have such a wonderful family who gives me so much, and there are people who are in worse position than I am. I want so many things, I want new clothes, shoes, gadgets, and even money to travel, but due to the fact that I have so many other commitments, I just focus on those instead.

It just makes me sad that I can't get any of these things.

But that's life, we live and we learn.
