Hurt so good..

As a child, you learn the difference between a need and a want. All children swear to their moms that they need this toy or they need that candy, but in reality, they only want it. This is where mom's come in and teach you the difference. Even though, it is still easy to get them confused as you grow up. "Mom, I totally need these shoes." Yeah, how many times have we done that? Too many, that's for sure. You would think by the time we become grown ups we would know the simple difference between a need and a want. I need to go to class, but I don't want to. I want to buy these shoes, but I don't need to. Simple enough right? Leave it to men to ruin something so simple for us. You know that bad boy that you totally want, but you definitely don't need? You know better, you are fully aware that he is the last thing you need. So logic says, you should not call him, text him or see him. Simple enough. But yet what do you do? Run straight to him. How about that one who got away but won't stay away? That ex of ours that we really needed to get rid of, and finally did, even though we didn't want to. But them when he tried to get back into your life, you know that you need to let him back in like you need a hole in your heard. Since we know the difference between need and want, why do we always make wrong choice? Often times doing what we want doesn't end up giving us what we need and we are left hurt. So we do we inflict this pain on our self? It seems like a simple enough choice, do only what you need to do. But yet, our want always outweighs our need. Maybe because our heart always outweighs our head and most of the time, our want is tied to our heart and our need is tied to our heart. In a case of head vs. heart, heart always wins, even when our head is right.
