one thing i've cemented in my mind from being in hawaii:
knowing my roots...
we go all around the island, and they take us as locals, but we're not.
it's flattering. but i can't take that credit away from true locals.
i'm from the mainland.
&growing up, i always wanted to be from here. have fam from here.
to be part of the culture and the people. basically, to identify with hawaii.
but-
i didn't have fam here. i only vacayed.
i wasn't part of the culture or people. just knew friends.
i knew hawaii as a destination, never as home.
that's not who i am.
i mean, if you're an islander, then you're an islander. lucky you. serio :)
but for me, i'm not. and that's what it is.
i'm not gonna front like i am.
i can't, cuz it's not who i am.
i wish, but i'm a kid from socal, who grew up in anaheim.
&i'm thankful for that.
cuz that's who i am.
i mean, I LOVE IT HERE, i really do. cuz FREAK! there's so many awesome laid back chill people.
everything is slower.
the beach is amahzing.
the food is...well...it's awesome.
they have shaved ice. all day everyday. x_X
but like anything in life...the grass is always greener...or the beach is always sunnier on the other side.
and to be honest, i wouldn't trade anything for my life, friends, and fam back in cali.
i've been way too blessed.
i've been given it all.
i wake up everyday thanking God for it all.
&that's real talk.
