Very interesting types of "wants". I believe that some of them are very much connected with habits and hobbies. Some wants feel more like a task in the beginning which might transform through consistency into a habit and/or, depending on the context of passion, into a beloved hobby. It does not mean that it will get easier, but that's the moment my "switch" has turned on.

Such an interesting post and totally agree that "want" can have multiple meanings. I think the kind of "want" I experience the most is wanting to get my books out in the world, which like you say, is a feeling, that I've had for years. I can't even remember when my initial interest in writing switched to this "want" to be published because it's been with me for so long--to the point where I now I feel it's more like a hunger than an emotion if that makes sense.
