Day 15 → Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.

I've lived through everything being gone. So no, there is nothing, short of water, food, and air, that I can't live without.

In a broader cliche sense? The hubby for sure. I have to live without him for weeks at a time. Come next year it will be for more than half the year. It's so hard without him here. And yes, I survive. And yes, I have happy days. But everything is better when he's around. :)

Day 14 → A hero that has let you down. (letter)

Huh. I legit can't think of anyone. Maybe Lance Armstrong for being awesome and then turning against his family and dating Sheryl Crow. Just seems weird to me to leave the ones who supported you the most through the tough times. Otherwise, I have no idea right now. If I think of something, I'll come back to this!

Day 13 → A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough ass days. (write a letter.)

Dear Peter, Paul, and Mary (RIP),

While I don't necessarily listen to your music DURING hard times, being brought up singing your wonderful folk songs, laughing hysterically to Paul's jokes and voices, watching your PBS specials... It has made a difference in my life. You taught me to use hammers and bells and songs to better my life, and to always look on the bright side of things.

And I do know that if I'm down, I can stick on the Campfire cds that I have and be cheerier right away.

So thank you. I think I owe you some of my sanity (if I have any, right???).

Love,

Emmers

Day 12 → Something you never get compliments on.

Huh. Well I guess even though I don't focus on the good things people say to me, I don't focus on what people DON'T say either, because I can't think of thing!

I don't get compliments on my nails I guess. Because they always suck :-p

Day 11 → Something people seem to compliment you the most on.

Oh, goodness. This is seriously tough, since I seem to warp compliments against myself. I guess people seem to compliment me the most on my energy; my optimism and smile. I think. Haha I think.

I guess people also say, "you're so skinny!" a lot, but ever since I was on the verge of being clinically underweight and still had anorexic chicks complimenting me on my body, I've hated that compliment. Why not say I fill out perfectly? That my body is in great shape???

Day 10 → Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn’t know.

Negative. I've actually become really good at letting people go when need be. I keep the ones I should around me or in my heart, and the rest... well, buh-bye!

There are some annoying people I wish I didn't know. But for the most part, I'm actually really at peace with that part of my life!

I'll update this if I can think of someone though!

Day 09 → Someone you didn’t want to let go, but just drifted.

Amy. Although I'm not sure we've drifted or if it's just because she's going through a year-long deployment now and we're both not at work bored. Who knows.

But she's the one who got me through so much! Our parallel relationships!

So I hope we drift back together soon!
