I have to say, everyday since getting back on the mainland has been a real bummer. The cost of living in D.C. is very comparable to that of Honolulu and I can't help but think, WHY am I here!
Not a day goes by where I don't think of being back on Oahu, sometimes, on the metro ride in, it is ALL I think about. I am almost consumed with the though of packing it all up and heading out on the next flight! looking over all my pics don't help either.
I miss the beach(obviously), the food, the people, my old work(though I do love my current job), the sense of being stuck in time...I just miss it all, a LOT.
Now I know, things can seem the same where ever you end up, but I feel like a fish out of water, for the first time in my life. Being born and raised in Bermuda, living with salt in the air, having a beach no more then 5 min away no matter where I have lived,...D.C. is just a land locked concrete jungle...you wont catch me trying to do anything in the Potomac river. The crowd here seems to be all uptight, and pretentious, I feel like I am the odd ball out because of all my tattoos, everyone seems to be in this trance, oblivious of anyone/thing around them...NO SENSE OF ALOHA!
I could go on, and on, but I guess what I am getting at is, I just plain 'ol miss living/being in Hawai'i...
