What It Is Like To Be Needed

What does it mean to be needed? You are needed when someone or something needs service, attention, or love from you. When people depend on you, they count on you every day or every time it's necessary. Going to work when you're scheduled to is very important. Not only do your guests count on you, but so do your coworkers. Whether you're serving food or providing everyday care for patients, you are needed in one way or another.

There will always be days when you do not want to go to work, whether you had a bad day or you aren't feeling well. When considering not going to work, first consider your health and how bad your condition is, and if it's bad, then take care of yourself. However, if your condition is not that bad, consider other people, the ones who need you to take care of them and make sure they are comfortable. Believe me, I've been there. There have been four nights I have worked and didn't want to go to work but I have patients who depend on me and need me and that alone makes it worth it.

Going to work to see my patients makes me happy, even if I haven't had the best day. They may say something that I find humorous or perhaps just seeing them in general makes me smile, but I love them so much and that is why I go to work. I know how important it is for me to go to work; my duties are very important to others' health and happiness. I look forward to talking with my loves, and they make my job very enjoyable. It's so easy to become attached, but I truly do love them just as I love my family. After all, I do spend many nights taking care of them. How could I not grow to love their spunky personalities?

The feeling of being needed is honestly one of the best feelings in the world. It makes you feel so loved and cared for. I know I'm cared for by many others but the feeling of someone depending on me makes me feel so very important and very proud of what I do. Taking care of people is something I love to do. I couldn't imagine my life without my patients because of how much they mean to me. There are the downsides, like when people become sick or deathly ill, but I always cherish the moments I am able to spend with them and this alone means everything to me.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
