    Yes, it is very true. A lot of times, the things we want aren't all that great as we originally thought it would be. We sometimes need to let those wants go.

    A good example is that a lot of kids were very jealous of me for living in a big house. Truth about that house, it was a nightmare. Takes forever to clean, hard to walk around in, super impractical, and the neighbors sucked. Why no maid? Because, who wants a stranger in their house?

    Some of the things we are raised to believe in, aren't real. Much like a huge house. People believe certain things are luxurious, when they're not worth it.
