wanting things

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." - J.K. Rowling. 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'

Hello World.

I've had a really bad temperature and headache yesterday. I spent the whole day yesterday in bed, reading, and watching some episodes of Doctor Who to distract my self from feeling my pain. I managed to get out of bed today, go out and come back, though unfortunately my headache is still with me. 

Something I have realised about myself and others is when we have one thing we will want another, but when we have that thing that we wanted, we will want the thing that we had in the first place. That probably makes no sense, does it?

Well, an example with me is that when it's winter, it's all cold and horrible and all I want is summer and the warmth, but when it finally gets to summer and it's too hot (which is a rare case for English summers) I would want it to be colder. 

Now I don't know if this is only me that thinks this, but it's not only the weather. When I was younger I would really want something. Maybe it was a toy or some clothes. When I got it, I wouldn't really use it. It would just lie there in the cupboard.

I think that the idea of having something seems greater than the reality of having something, which I think is a bit odd sometimes. There is nothing wrong with wanting something, but before you buy things I think that people should think of the ways in which they could use it.
