How Does it Feel to Want? Wednesday

I've decided to introduce a new segment to the blog. It's inspired from my childhood, when I used to whine when I didn't get something I so desperately thought I should have and complain to my parents by saying, "...but I WANT it!!!" and my father would never fail to reply, "How does it feel to want?" Now, I find myself reciting this line that irked me so terribly as a child whenever I hear the word "want." But doesn't it feel nice to want things? To want, by definition, means to "have a desire to possess or do (something); wish for." And shouldn't we all strive to possess and do things?! Shouldn't we all wish for things?! Therefore, How Does it Feel to Want Wednesdays will document some of my wants that inspire me! Some of these wants will admittedly be quite materialistic, but hopefully as time goes on I can dig and expose some deeper, more personal "wants." 

This week, I want certain things for my blog. I want to include more personal beliefs and thoughts. I want to include my own personal photos, and one day learn the art of photography. I want people who stumble across my blog to connect with something and come back again. I want this to be a place where I can express, inspire and challenge myself and maybe if I'm lucky, others as well. 

Here is a list of blogs that inspire me:
