Things I own:
Mac desktop, Macbook, 3 pairs of blue jeans, a pair of white jeans, Chino pants, 3 bins of workout clothes, 5 pencil skirts, 12 dresses, and a crap ton of shirts and jackets that I have but don't wear. I have too much jewelry and enough designer hand-me-down bags to know what to do with. I have a table stacked with heels, boots, tennis shoes, loafers, sandles, most just sit there looking pretty. The crave of wanting more can never be filled; its an unchievable appetite. Tyler Durden in Fight club made a bold statement: "the things you own, end up owning you." So what are the real necessities? I can tell you only what I know...
Necessities:
1. Food- A well fed body makes the brain fueled and the soul happier. Plus without this we would be malnourished.
2. Water- Our body is made up of it. Replenish what was lost.
3. Sleep- Ever gone 18 hours without sleep? YOU. ARE. MISERABLE. Speaking for myself anyway.
4. Clothes- Realisticly everyone walking around naked would not be pretty. Let's face it, even Adam and Eve sewed leaves together.
The other Necessities:
Today I Celebrate my Anniversary, Christmas Eve, Having a loving family, A forgiving God, and a beautiful Life. I will never forget my original feelings of Bryan when I started to work for him. He was a straight up asshole. He made fun of my ears and gave me such a hard time but eventually the annoyance turned into being smitten which in turn we fell into Love. Id be lying if I said these past years were easy, and often times wondered why we were placed on eachothers paths. We have rode more rollercoasters than we could care for. Fought more than we should have, been there for each other's worst. Screamed and cried, laughed and loved. Our marriage has come a long way and with that said, we both have grown tremendously. Bryan makes me spiritually whole, comforts me when im sad, generalizes with me when im unrealistic. I could not even imagine a stronger man and a better half to stand by my side. Love is my other First Necessity.
Happy Vaniversary Lovebug.
Forever and Always.
