grammaticality - Can I put a list into a list?


I am wondering if I can use a list within a list. I know that the following sentence may seem as though it would be better if reworded, but I am using euphemisms and simplifications for what I am actually writing. I am trying to boil it down, so what you see below is just a microcosm of the sentence I am actually writing.



I went there because I was sad, lonely, foolish, and in need of shelter, love, and contentment.
