What do you need?
They say that needs are necessities
Things you can not live without, essentially
But to answer this would be to ask yourself-
What makes you come alive?
For me, all I need is curiosity.
Without it I'm just a lifeless, zombie version of me.
It's what keeps me alive; it's generosity
for it tirelessly,
asks questions.
and persistently,
demands answers.
disguising itself as a thirst that can only be quenched by knowledge
for knowledge is highly nutritious, bursting with compassion and growth-
it is curiosity that drives
our humankind to thrive.
And it's this asking of why
that keeps us all alive
because lets face it-
If I was to be stuck on an island,
the one thing I'd need to survive on it,
is the curiosity to figure out how.
