What I Want

What I want is to be happy. Is that unrealistic? Is it just a spoiled American ideal that we are entitled to happiness? I know that God promises hope and a future. Does it say in the Bible that we are promised happiness? I would imagine it may somewhere, I just don't know.

I want to be content. There was a short time where I actually felt that. I couldn't figure out what I was feeling and then laughed out loud when I realized that for the first time in my life, I was content. I wasn't where I wanted to be for the rest of my life, but for that moment, I was completely content with my life.

I want to be comfortable. Not comfortable by material things. Comfortable emotionally. I don't want so much discomfort. I don't want to be on edge all the time wondering what is going to go wrong next, when the next time people close to me will get angry. I don't want to stop caring, I just don't want to be around people like that anymore.

There are many other things that I want, but I believe if I had these things, I would be able to live with the lack of anything else.
