You want to be wanted.

We're human beings. The deepest part of the core of who we are is a desire to be wanted. As adults, being "wanted" often translates sexually, but stop and think a moment. Can't you recall wanting to feel wanted when you were little?

"Look at my new dress Daddy!" said the little girl who desperately wanted to be seen. . .wanted to be admired. . .wanted to be noticed. . .wanted to be validated. . .wanted to be held.

You fill in the blanks love. You know what it is you wanted.
