Today I am going to admit to more than a bad case of writer’s block.
I’m going to admit my 3rd necessity.
It’s the thing (or things) that stabilize your life (outside of food (1) and shelter (2)).
Side Note: Theoretically, one could say that clothing is an obvious (third) necessity. Let’s be daring and say, for only today, I’m bohemian. You don’t need clothes with the exception of heavy coats for Chicagoland winters
I have lots. Cooking, my dog, my girlfriend, my car, music, good beer, travel ... The list goes on.
I think it all comes back to balance and how much time you allot for the experiences in your life that you enjoy and really need. They may not bring you a paycheck, or get you a promotion, but they are important. They're the things you'll look back on and consider the "good times."
