5. Fight for your desires. Life isn’t about being handed everything like on free sample day at Byerly’s. You have to work for the thinks you want in life, and it isn’t always easy. Life is about finding something that you would do anything to obtain and doing whatever it takes to get there. Find something that you can’t live without, and don’t ever let it go. If we don’t have something worth working for, what do we have in life?
6. Desire is red hot. It is boiling and bubbling over the edges of the pot. Desire is the aroma of fresh baked cookies and Christmas trees. It is enchanting and leaves you wonderstruck. This is something that no one can escape because it is all around us. Desire waits for you at home and follows you into the dark. It pulls you close, wraps it arms around you and doesn’t ever let go.
This was for a writing assignment in AP Comp. I meant that going after what we desire is the only way to get what we want in life–almost in the cliche “You can't get what you want unless you try” way. Desire can lead to disappointment, but I think that's life. Glad to hear anyone still reads this, though! Thank you!

Do you still feel this way? You make some interesting points, however, I must disagree with you that desire brings about satisfaction or fulfillment. You allude to the negative aspects of desire and craving, but instead you state that it is a means to reach some goal.I wonder if you see any negative aspects of desire and/or craving? If so, what would you say they are?Sorry that this is a comment to such an old posting, but I never knew you had a blog until today and I started reading from the beginning…Uncle J to the J
