Stranded


The famous question 

¨If you were stranded on a deserted island and you could only take one thing what would it be and why?¨

How would you answer? I am not talking about just a book you like or something like that.

I mean something of deep meaning to you, something you feel that without it you will die.

It could be a person, a picture, a necessity, or even something like a pet rat.

If you will listen I will tell exactly what I would bring with me.

  Yes it is something personal and close

This thing make me feel free

But first I will explain why I chose what I chose

It means the world to me.

It is my motivation and and my inspiraton.

It makes me smile when I am angry.

It is my most protected and prized possession.

I couldn't live without it.

I would not survive.

This thing is not a thing at all in fact.

This thing is a person,

And she has shown me what it means to be a man.

She is the definition of fun.

She is Wilmary Colon

and she is my sister figure

and the girl I feel that I could spend the rest of my stranded life with.

I have not yet met the love of my life but she is the closest there can be.

She is practically family.
