This is like . .. . .

Having dinner with someone you used to love, many years later.

Walking around your elementary school when you've graduated from highschool.

See, I'm in hawaii right now. It smells just the same. Feels just the same. I have to remind myself constantly that I'm not in some dream where my brain is painting a cheap facade of tropical paradise. I'm really here. Hawaii IS heaven--warm and soft and blue-watered. But it's also a place you can't live forever, or even for a whole summer without taking it for granted.

I'm learning tons of cool science. I feel as close to at peace as I think I ever have in my life. Especially if ignore my lack of romantic anything. Then, life is nearly perfect. At the very least, Hawaii is.
