about 1 month ago

Greetings and good afternoon dear friends, happy Saturday to all, I hope you are very well and are having a great weekend; for the proposal of Weekend Engagement 200, our friend @galenkp leaves us very interesting topics, such as this one that blew my mind so much thinking, "be stranded on a tropical island for the rest of my life"; well as it was the one that most disturbed me, that is the one I will focus on.

If you were stranded alone on a tropical island for the rest of your life (no chance of getting off) and could wish someone there with you but doing so would strand them there for the rest of their life also, (you both would die there eventually).

Would you do it and why, or why not?

It is a topic that had me thinking a lot today, and I even got to imagine several possible scenarios if something like that were to happen, scenarios like mine on that island of course and with whom, as well as my mother being without me, my family and close friends without me being present in their lives, it is like dying in a certain way and start again, but not only that, there would also be the whole family environment of my boyfriend, because he would be that someone I want with me on that island, I will try to organize my ideas in order to shape them in a coherent way.

I will begin by saying that I love my mother, I treasure my family and friends, and with this it is difficult for me to part with them forever, there have been many moments lived with each one of them, especially with my mother, who is a beautiful person, attentive and very familiar, and this would be one of the reasons why I do not want her to be with me on that island, to deny her who she is, just to have her by my side? It would not be fair, would it hurt her to be without me, of course it would, but it would hurt me more, to know that she would not be herself, she will not be in the familiar environment that she loves so much, and this brings me to the main reason why I want to be with my boyfriend for life on a tropical island.

Speaking a little about him, unlike me, he is not so familiar and less to be in social circles, but he loves his mother, but I remember very well a conversation we both had with her a couple of years ago, at that time we were planning to leave our country to seek a better quality of life, something that in the end did not happen, But I noticed that she was a very strong woman, so much so that she told us and gave us these words as advice for the future, that "the children do not belong to us, we only guide them to have a prosperous life and do the same with the next generation", with this she wanted to tell us that she loves her son and that as a mother she did her job, she made her decisions and now it is our turn.

I would like to think that it is more difficult for us to let go of our Mothers than for them to let go of us, having said that, taking everything we have lived and learned about the family, how important it is to have it and to guide it, until it is the turn of a new generation; I say without hesitation, that if I were stranded on a tropical island, I would love it to be with my boyfriend, it would be a new beginning, a new stage that we will live from scratch, building a new legacy, something that is born from us, have our children and give them the best upbringing that can to some extent, because analyzing every detail of the question asked, "who would have to stay forever on that island would be my boyfriend and me", does not apply to our offspring; our children at a certain time and having the means to leave, we would let them go, so they can live their own lives based on their own decisions, just as we did, but taking the best of us as teachings, so they can also meet their grandmothers, live with them and the rest of the family; we would be happy to stay in our island, in our home, live enjoying nature, live our own way, getting our own food, bathing every day at the beach, this makes me remember a little bit the movie "The Blue Lagoon", it would be great; That's how I imagine it, because we both love natural spaces, beaches, living together, creating special moments and working on our future based on what we have available, that is, we are walking the same path and that is excellent, what better company than his to be on our island and live this adventure.
