Hello, fellow weekenders! It's almost the end of the weekend, and I thought I couldn't make it! But here I am.
Living without electricity??? 馃
This prompt actually takes me through memory lane... Thanks, 
I think I could live in a world without electricity if we're talking about this moment.
I've noticed that when there's a blackout in the neighborhood, people tend to gather; they actually talk with each other, share anecdotes, advise kids, and they are involved in the community issues.
And this happens a lot, here in my country. I know there are other places living the same, so maybe one person can relate.
I remember that back in 2019, there was a huge failure in the electrical system of our country, and most of the states spent at least five days without electricity. How did we survive? 馃槄 Let's review: having cash was a disaster. There weren't enough to buy essential things like food, so many of us had to ask in the grocery store for credit until the power system was reestablished and therefore we could pay. We made gas oil lamps, which was terrible because of the smoke. When we blew our noses, there was this black soot. Kids didn't go to school. They just played. I wrote and read.
I was hot as hell; mosquitoes were all over the place, and I was very afraid of getting malaria. It was a moment of stress, and we couldn't sleep well. I remember that one of those nights, my nieces wanted to sleep with me, and I let them. I spent almost all the night blowing them some air with a cardboard and casting away the mosquitoes.
Those days were days of learning; what to do, and how to entertain myself without the necessity of a phone or TV. Communication with my family got better, and I learned how to make a lamp.
The reminiscence of 2019 is still in me. And every time there is a blackout that lasts for more than 4 hours, I just can't help but think, will it be today the new 2019.
Living without electricity is not something I would prefer, but I know I can do it.
