Inhaler
noun
1.
a portable device for administering a drug that is to be breathed in, used for relieving asthma and other bronchial or nasal congestion.
Yes, this definition is correct. An inhaler helps you breathe when it seems impossible, keeps you alive even. You take a breath and feel your contracted lungs releasing. And yes it is a drug. One thing this definition leaves out however, is that an inhaler is not only a container of medicine handed over the counter in a little plastic case used to relieve asthma. No, in fact my inhaler is just an average boy. An average boy who helps me breathe when I feel I want nothing more than to stop. This average boy, he is my drug and and an overdose is exactly what has kept me from being six feet under.

sad or happy - choose

There are many simple techniques to promote happiness. Some of them you probably heard from your grandmother . . . but there are other, less obvious ways. The brain makes up about 2 percent of a human's body weight, uses 20% of the oxygen consumed by the body and . . . is often not under our control. Proof? Try counting slowly with your eyes closed in a quiet place. How far did you get before you lost count and started thinking about something else? Many people can't make it past ten. Drugs are not the answer. Why risk addiction while destroying your lungs and your brain with alcohol, nicotine (smoking tobacco or vaping), cannabis (marijuana), opium derived drugs like Oxycontin or other unnecessary and unhealthy chemicals? If you need to dispel a bad mood, use one or more meditation techniques, evolution's natural way to obtain happiness.

F.A.F // H2OVanoss [Completed]
Look at me, not too close, though, just from the outside. What do you see? A smile? Friends? Happiness? Joy? Everything that I could ever want? A perfect life, if you wanted to go that far. Now, look a bit closer. See those bags under my eyes? Hear the pain in my voice? The fatigue in my movements? Cautious glances, fearful expressions, the flinches at the slightest touch? Do you see that? Well, ignore it. Because, Fuckboys Are Fine. ------------- WARNING: This story contains some mature themes and triggering topics, please read at your own risk.Complete

Breathing Water
My name is Oyster Estuary. I am 17 years old. I have suffered from the inability to breath oxygen properly for as long as I can remember. My classmates think its weird that I have to get help breathing from a little inhaler practically every hour (they even bully me about it). It has always been that bad, so my mom never let me do anything that would make it harder to breath, like swimming. The only time I get wet is when I'm in the shower. That is until the bullies "accidentally" push me off a cliff into the ocean. #2 - asthma (06.12.2019) #3 - asthma (07.27.2020)Complete

So when we find that thing that seems to numb the pain, we tend to rely on it so much, it becomes part of us. We tend to take it so much, it becomes an overdose.
