After watching yet another scintillating episode of Sex and the City, I started thinking about secret desires and how our world seems to be filled with them.
From babies to seniors, we all have these secrets desires that consume our every thought. Some are primal, others are new. But all of them share a specific need: the need to be fulfilled. Just how fast we decide to give in to them is up to us. We can either play it coy and wait until all of the pieces start to fall together or we can take action and force our dreams into reality.
These secret desires are what guides us subconsciously. We can try to fight them, but one way or another, these primordial needs get the better of us, if we let them.
For some these are harmless delights, such as the eating of a muffin or the purchase of yet another materialistic outburst. Others however, tend to have a more raw urge that cannot be found in any department store. These are the desires that can shape a person's character. The way that person perseveres or surrenders to it defines him.

Still, if we choose to succumb to what feels natural to us, does that make us a bad person, a selfish person even? And if we choose to ignore the incessant calls of our Id does that make us strong and pragmatic?
