Life Support.


–adjective: of or pertaining to anything that fosters or sustains life ,success, or continued existence, as of a person, thing, ornation.

Currently in Chile, my life support is Rodrigo. And nothing else. I have few friends and even less that I consider "good friends." I do consider being able to talk to my friends and family a form of my life support in Chile, but face to face talking is something completely different.
 In Minnesota, my life support mainly is Rodrigo by connection to the internet and text messages, lots of family and lots of really really good friends both the gold kind and the silver ones too!!! But, there are many other things that I use to keep myself happy and willing to wake up every day and want to live, something that I don't have in Chile. I have my peace. I can wake up at 3am (if I wanted to...and I sometimes really do...) and I can go outside. I can look up at the sky and I can sit there in almost complete darkness and I can see the stars and I can hear the earth. I find my peace with the world in the middle of the night. I find my peace in the loneliness and in the darkness. (I really truly hate drive alone and in the dark though!!) 


I thought I had a point but after that last glass of Bacardi Limon I don't remember.
