Need vs. Want

While packing up my life from the past five years, I've done some reflecting. I realize that I have a great amount of excess. Some things have provided me comfort. Others have been so called "necessities." I feel like I'm about to learn the difference between need and want.
Even while packing
- I need an IPOD for my music.
- I need a digital camera.
- I need to have a good rain jacket.
What I really need is what I already have...
A roof, some food, family, and friends.
If I'm having these thoughts right now before I actually leave the country, imagine me in two years. AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

This apartment has many great memories. It is a little sad to empty out the closets and lock up the doors. I feel like I've had my most growth during these years, if that's possible to identify. Okay, I'm getting sappy.
Kirstin & Derek are here in two days. Graduation is this weekend. No time to get sentimental right now. That can be left for my final few days here before departure.
Check you all later.

PS - I've added my Tongan address to the right. Please feel free to write to me as often as you'd like because I'm unsure how often I can check my email. Remember, I leave July 8th!!!!
