We all need so one. We all need to be need it. It’s in human nature to be social animals. We all get lost in the emptiness of the dark night.
Let me tell you this short analogies if you visit my place of origin you will find a small but beautiful rain forest call ‘el Yunke’, in Fajardo Puerto Rico.
If you enter and let say you do not turn Airplane Mode on your mobile phone, the equipment will drain the battery in matter of few hours but Why? Because is looking for an antenna that is not in reach, an antenna that cannot find.
Constantly looking for a signal that will never reach fatigue the equipment.
Is not this interesting!
Event something not smart like a smartphone, not alive behave like us in a big way. As you may know in my free time I am writing Healing Together One Soul at the time, well one editors has a Maniqui in the corner of her living room call Sofia; an works like her artificial antenna it my sound funny but she does not have to buy her food. My Son have his Fiancé and Loky, my Daughter her Mom and I as been in the Spectrum I rely a lot in my support system of antennas.
Moving here to Richmond Virginia had force me to find new antennas in my life, but is not easy an takes time to create new connections. In my case ‘my people’ are in Puerto Rico, and yes we talk and they help ground myself in those moments where being autistic is challenging. They help great deal but they cannot hug me over the phone.
The human brain is not designed to be alone, is a social brain, we are social creatures.
Of course I am over simplifying the ideas but the question is Who’s your antenna person. I want you to think about this during your free time. Who do you go to when you fill like need a friend?
I want you to share this post with all the people that are an antenna in your life with a thank you note for being there when you need someone.
