Someone who has made your life worth living
This is a hard one because I've never really needed a reason to live or at least I've never gone looking for one. But if you asked me for a list of people in my life who bring me joy I would have to start with my mom. She's a great mom, really. I couldn't ask for a better one. That's not to say she's perfect (none of us are) but she's damn close.
A very close second would be The Fiance.
I realized not too long ago that a once beloved hobby of mine, movies, now has a diminished place in my life namely because I used to use movies as a way to escape my humdrum existence. Now, because The Fiance adds such fulfillment to my life, I no longer have a desire to use movies in that way.
Finally, at the risk of sounding all bible-thumpy, I have to add God to the list of people who make life worth living. My understanding of God has changed a lot over the past few years but the meaning and purpose my faith imparts has not. I know what I'm here for -- to act justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with my God.

I don't think I could handle 30-days of my own truth; escapism in whatever form, is how I survive. Sad, I know, but it's what keeps me going.
We all have different ways in which we like to escape. And it's not a bad survival mechanism either.

I'm going to the movies with Poor George tonight. Should I be worried? :)
