| Who do you know needs this? |
I know what I want, but it is much harder to visualize, categorize and verbalize what it is you need to do away with to get what you want. I think much of this struggle has to do with taking things for granted.
For example, the young woman who wants to pursue her career may not immediately realize that it will also mean leaving the home she is safe in. You would think she would, but she may not even know it until she has moved away to that distant city. It’s then that she realizes she didn’t just remove the annoying, stifling things of home, but also the great things. She might be fine with it, she might decided it was too much to give up and go back to be close to home.
And in truth that is how it should be. You can’t know who you are and what you want, I mean REALLY want, until you do have to live with and feel the absence of what you had to give up. It’s how we grow and find out who we really are and what we really want in life.

Quote by Sidney Howard, 1891-1939, American playwright and screenwriter.
By the way, do you know why playwright has ‘wright’ in it, instead of ‘write’ or ‘right’? It’s because when something is wrought, like wrought iron, it is made by a ‘wright’. Thus, the person who writes a play, is a playwright.
