Strangers in the Empty Playground

Day 14

How many times have I said, “I can’t live without—” and inserted some stupid thing? Turns out nothing is really ‘essential’.

I slowly start a self-imposed caffeine rehab, because I’ll be damned if I’m dependent on anything. Daily showers are no longer a staple, either. My car is well ventilated, and the AC thankfully works, so it’s not like I’m sweaty.

Food, water, a place to sleep. That’s all that really matters. Even clothes are only important for their ability to keep me warm.

And my knife, but I really hope I won’t have to use it.
