When I was younger, I had asthma. I remember that suffocating feeling. The panic, anxiety, nervousness striking my system all at once. I never wanted to feel that again. Fast-forward 20 years later, you came along. The overwhelming feeling of asthma has come back. I can't breathe. You are asphyxiating me. Yet, I find excuses, inhalers, to tolerate you...to keep you near. Is it worth filling my lungs with chemicals just so that they can expand and contract?
