Day 15: Something or someone you couldn't live without, because you've tried living without it.
The completely honest answer is that there is no one/nothing I couldn't "live" without. Well, except for maybe oxygen and food. I think, though, that the topic wasn't particularly relating to no-brainers like this.
I know there are things I felt I couldn't live WITH before. I felt I couldn't live with another second of drama, but I learned that I could because things only get worse before they get better.
See, it's times like that when you learn to slow it down. Some people get through with the "one day at a time" philosophy, and that's a great outlook on life... Just take it as it comes, next thing you know, you've gotten through. Sometimes, though, one day is entirely too much. Sometimes folks need to slow it down to "one hour at a time" or even "one minute at a time."
I know, for me, yesterday, I was running on about "two hours at a time". I got through and have lived to see another day.
To sum it up... give no one or nothing the kind of power in your life that says you'll never be able to function with out it/him/her. I am living proof that anything can be gotten through. Ask around. some of my closest friends will tell you, so trust me when I say that all you desperately need is breathable air and an obstinate spirit. (yeah, that's me.)
