You can't always get what you want

Amazing realization. I don't get what I need, especially the times when it feels missing in other parts of life:
People who think I'm capable and want my help.
People who think I'm creative and like my schidt.
People who think I'm funny and get my sense of humor.
People who won't let me take things too seriously.
People willing to go all woo-woo with me.
