What cant you live without?

like when you're feeling sad and bored.....?

for me- its music... it works every time.

 

the ability to cry


i would seriously selfdestruct if i couldn't cry some of my emotion/stress/frustration/other crap out

 

that too but sometimes after crying music helps... hmmm

 

music and food

 

time alone and some means of creative expression,
even if it's just pencil and paper
or soft mud and a sharp stick.

human created/caused sounds i can generaly get along just fine without
though i definately have preferances among them
the human voice not generaly being one of them

though i love for everyone to be able to be happy

.../\...

 

sad and bored would be music and movies i guess

 

nature is where i find myself navigating towards when im feeling shittest. either sitting in my backyard or lying around in a park until i start to feel better.

 

outside is good to go when i'm feeling overwhelmed

 

yes movies. my other addiction.....

 

oh! talking to good friends is awesome too

 

There is nothing I cannot live without other than the obvious necessities of sustaining life. Everything else I've gone without at one time or another.

 

I'll expand on the music thought

music and a car. If I'm bummed and things aren't right in my world, I get in the car and just go for hours and check out places I've never been before even just for the day. Course' the $3 a gallon gasoline kinda f's things up these days and makes me less likely to take random drives in the middle of the country

 

oh for real. took me 35 dollars to fill up my tank today. luckily that CAN last a month if i dont take a lot of extra trips

 

dayum, whatever your on, I'll take two.

oh wait a minute, you're not on anything because you don't need anything but food, water and shelter.

sorry that was a bit crass

let's be honest here though. there is plenty in your life that you can't live without

I mentioned a couple of simple things concerning me - a car and a radio, but there's obviously many more in my life - friends, family, love, conversation etc

obviously we can all live on the basic necesities of life, we've all made it through, survived tough times with barely a pot to piss in, but I don't think Trish meant this thread to be quite so literal.

 

^haha yeah i wasnt being literal but what helps you and dont WANT to live without

silly wabbit

 

When I'm sad, music usually just increases that sadness because music brings back so many emotions and memories. But still, I couldn't live without it.

 

I could say music and human contact.

 

I always underestimate the power of crying, even when I think it won't help.

 

the beach, chocolate, magazines, long drives, sutan oil that smells like coconuts, cosmos and coronas, drinkable meals, treadmills, shoes, oprah (even though I don't get to watch her I know she is there), pre moistened napkins, instant hand sanitizor...I could really go on and on.
And all of these things calm me down whether it's because they're conventionaly calming, ritualistic or provide security

 

I can't live without a bed. I've tried sleeping on the ground and the older I get the harder it is sleep.

Love, touch, hugs, my family. I need these things to live & breathe.
