I live in a world where oranges are green, where lemons are limes, where banana bread is a dulce (sweet) and Tang needs extra sugar.
Where chocolate has a season and grows on trees, where water comes from the sky, not the faucet, where coconut comes from, well, a coconut.
Where the ability to speak English guarantees you a job, where its normal for aunts and uncles to be older than nieces and nephews, where king kong and mermaids exist, where the season depends on the weather that week,
where conversations can be as simple as stating the obvious (you’re washing your clothes… yup),
where playing volleyball is a sin, where cutting the grass means sharpening your machete, where fishing is to get dinner, not a sport, where having electricity is a luxury, where cars are non-existent, where finding 10¢ is like finding $10, where life is simple.
I live in a world where I am happy.

very poetic me lady! You can be a writer when you come back home!
Your life sounds tough but so simple (is that an oxymoron?)
Hope your tooth is feeling better...
