Is it a crime to want something so bad?

Is it a crime to want to be happy?

To be present?

To be valued?

To be loved?

Wanting things for yourself is not a crime. To the naked eye, they are known as goals, dreams, and ambitions, but for the individual reading this, they may think of it as “It’s selfish of me to want that for myself,” or “I’m not worthy of wanting that for myself,” so they completely shut out their right to want things in life, therefore, limiting themselves and their potential.
