Anyway, it asks you to list the things you could not live without. I had a hard time narrowing it down to the number they give you, but just quickly decided on a few and wrote them in. When I was done I found myself rethinking my decisions. Not that It this question and where I answered them was a big deal, but were these actually the things that meant the most to me. If I were to be put on a deserted island and only had the choice of a hand full of things I could take with me; what would it be?
Well today while I was on the train I had a idea that came to mind, something I really wanted to write down. I usually prefer to write versus typing in my phone. That's just me. But my phone was off because it was dying, so I reached in my bag for my journal (which I almost didn't take with me today), Journal- check; but where was the pen? Dammit, I always leave the pen inside my journal? I started to freak.. like literally.
You know how people look when they think they have missplaced their phone. I use that as an example, because it is such an obvious situation. People start freaking out, patting every part of their body, ripping through their bags, grabbing their pockets, rechecking where they just checked. That omg did I just loose my phone panic face, and then the AAhhhh wheww... there it is calmness that sets back over their face when they have located it.
Okay, so that was me over a pen; while I kept saying in my head what I desperately needed to jot down. Yes, if my phone wasn't almost dead it would have been an easy solution and I wouldn't have panicked. But I couldn't find the pen. So I prayed that my phone had enough juice to turn on underground and stay on while I typed out my fascinating idea (not really) in my notes app. Thank gosh it did! But assuming that on this island there is a possibility I wont have good service and would therefor be jacking up my phone bill from roaming.. A phone I don't absolutely need. It's moments like this, when you freak out on a train over something that seems sooo small when you realize what you can't do without. And today, I realized I soo can't do without a PEN!
