Want to need

Here's the thing about humans: we aren't perfect.

We want things that we shouldn't and we need things that we don't prioritize.

We want to go to the concert, but we need our sleep. We want to find love, but we need to learn to be comfortable alone to overcome our anxiety. We want to go to France, but we need to save enough money to pay for a car that will get us to work every day.

There are wants and there are needs. Everyone has both.

While your story may revolve around one, don't forget that your characters have both. If they don't realize that, they will never be a full person.
