What do you think your basic needs are?

my needs are changing. of course i need shelter and healthy food. if i move, a car will no longer be a need, so im looking forward to the day when that is a reality. i need a little bit of socialization but not a lot. also i need a bit of an escape from life, like hobbies and internet. i could probably live without the tv. and of course i need my meds to function and have a sense of normalcy.

what are your needs?

o and another one is sunshine. as i get depressed during prolonged periods of cloudiness. maybe i could get some full spectrum bulbs for my seasonal affective disorder. luckily we get enough sunshine here usually even in winter.

I have alot of needs and wants. Most likely we’re not satisfactory in meeting many of them. When i get better at one, i remember others i havnt met yet.

I’d say a roof over my head and my family even though most times I want to get far away from them I don’t know how I’d do without it then.

What I find amusing is that the last year of lockdowns have pretty much shown me what my needs aren’t. I miss fine-dining a bit, but not a lot. Missing an annual trip to a museum didn’t turn out to be a big deal, I got some more enjoyable nature walks in instead. I haven’t missed theatres. I have never cared for concerts or clubs. I like Zoom AA meetings better than the real ones. Can’t visit with the wife’s parents because of COVID? Oh, drat. Other than not being able to have a limited number of photographer friends over to my home for tea and print salons, I would describe my whole lockdown experience in two words:

Highly civilized.

In fact, I could do with more of it.

Oh, and I’m getting used to doing print salons by Zoom now as well.
