I've been living in Kailua, Hawaii for 6 months now, and I've never loved life as much as I love it now. And it isn't just because I wake up in paradise everyday; to the sight of the ocean and mountains. It's because I know how short and fragile life is. And our lives are meant to be lived. That means taking chances, not being afraid to risk it all, and most of all see the world. I realize there is a time and season for all things. And I've spent my fair share of time sweating, bleeding, and suffering through blue-collar jobs; and all was worth it when given the oppurtunities to travel and experience life at it's fullest.
