RentMen: Name 5 things that you can’t live without.
TLKSHAW: 1. Hope
By hope, I mean:
hope that the future will be good (if the present is also good), or better (if the present is painful).
hope that this brief, confusing, and often painful life is not all there is to look forward to.
hope that although I may be growing old and losing certain things (innocence, opportunities, visual acuity), there is a chance to either regain what I’ve lost or to gain other things — equal or better than what I’ve had to give up.
If I don’t have hope, I don’t have anything.
2. Beauty
By beauty, I don’t just mean sculptures and paintings. I mean everything that stirs those internal feeings of admiration, awe, and gratitude
3. Music
Music is a language, a worldview, a way I make sense of and interpret and understand and address the world that I live in.
4. Love
I don’t mean romance, which unfortunately is what this word boils down to much of the time.
I mean love. And decided to write “love” instead of “family” or “friends,” because family and friends are never guaranteed to stay in one’s life.
But love is always possible.
5. Humor 🤣♥️
