Personal: Countdown Day 6: Five Things
May. 27th, 2015 10:12 pm( All 10 Days )
Day 6 - Five things you can't live without
The easy answer (oxygen, water, food) isn't the most interesting answer, as usual, so I'll skip those things in favor of something else. For most of these, it is true on an abstract level that I can't live without them (e.g., what is the point of life without these things?), but also in an absolute concrete way, in that I have come close to death, and sometimes very recently, but remain alive because of some combination of these things. In no particular order:
1. Family and friends.
2. My sweet, cuddly, protective dog.
3. Stories and storytelling.
4. Sun and sand and sea.
5. Technology.
It feels like these are pretty self-explanatory but also that I could talk about them for hundreds of thousands of words, which in some cases, I'm pretty sure I have.
The thing I am surprised I am surviving without: my bipolar medication.
