Needy

I need

food and water. Air. Sleep.

Physical exercise.

Sunlight; to be still

and to be seen.

These are the only things, really. Always required. The basics. They are life-sustaining.

I do not need

Social media. AC.

More than one device.

Brand names, alcohol,

or nicotine.

Luxuries, indulgences at best. Sometimes a joy, a comfort, but at worst, they rob me of my better self.

I need to need less, to not need, to be needed.

I need to get out more.
