You've been given a chance to live in the perfect paradise for a year, but with one condition - you must leave your family and friends behind, and have no contact with them. Would you go?
If you would have asked me this a week ago, no, I would not trade anything, even for perfection, but lately, well, I am slightly biased. If the previous entries don't lend themselves to "why" then well, I just can't help ya there. By now though, I would give up everything here for paradise. I have (in my mind) little to nothing left. But then again, I watched myself lose everything over the course of 3 days. I don't know how that is possible, but well, it just is. Those that support me, of course would tell me that if it all disappeared in 3 days, it could be back in three days. But that is optimisim for you - and yours truly is a pessimist.
So just what would paradise be? How could I define my own perfect paradise? Any place where there was not a care in the world. Where I could just live life, not worrying about anything or anyone. Of course I would miss my friends, but by the same token I would see them after a year and we would have so much to share.
Changing gears for just a moment, I am not sure why I wrote this, probably because it is 2:30 and I have nothing better to do. In a half hour, I could call my friend Cristy on the East coast while she gets ready for school. That would eat an hour of life. I haven't been sleeping anyway. I make up my sleep in the afternoon. I slept through phsyics. Crashed out a la 2pm slept until the floor meeting at 9pm. Then I was up, and I talked with KK, and everything happened, then sleep came except I couldn't sleep b/c of homework. Finished my HW and now nothing to do.
And so this is wrote. It is an interesting theme. Perhaps it would have been better worded losing contact with them for good. Would YOU trade paradise for your friends and family? Permanently? I know I couldn't. As distant as they could be at times, I don't think I have it in me to leave them. Although trust me, I've tried.
