I’ll go first!
We can all live without something unwanted in our life. But, unfortunately, things and people will keep popping up to cause our nerves to become rattled or get on our damn nerves.
There are several things that I can live without, but the one major one is ARGUING!
I will agree and walk away, then stick around and go back and forth with someone. At this point in my life, all I want is PEACE If you can’t offer me that, then I will dump you off at the city dump where you belong and never look back.
When I was younger, I found it normal to waste time arguing my point with anyone and everyone. If I felt that my cause was accurate, I found it difficult to back down.
Geesh, I wasted valuable time that I will never get back!
Now you go!
You could have chosen any blog to read, but you chose mine, and I’m honored!

I can’t agree more. I find I start to say something, to fight a point, and I stop myself and say, what the heck, it’s just not worth it. Great point!

Mine is negativity! I’m trying to get my hubby to be more positive because every time I get in the car with him, he expects the worst of people, or the worst situation that could happen. Drives me insane!
Music. I can’t live without music 🎶 ☺️

I’m with you on that. Negativity will drive me insane. Maybe the move is wearing him thin, ya think? But even so I totally understand your point. Music I cannot live without that as well.

I can live without toxic people… life is too short to bring toxicity into our lives and allow it to stay.
My hubby said he can live without bad drivers. Road rage is on the rise in our area and bad drivers only escalate the problem.

I lived a large portion of my life in various drama-stories, some told to me, some I created, all toxic. When we hang on to these stories, we attract like-minded people into our lives. No más for me. No more drama for the sake of drama. I quit it a few years ago, and am much healthier for it. Thank you for this reflective space, Belladonna. Happy Saturday! 💜
