Staying the Course

Ive been really working through some things. Adjusting to a new life after all these years in the place where I spent all these years seems, well, difficult. It’s not that I don’t humbly love my hometown and place, but I’ve had so much more on my mind. Thinking this would be all sunshine and rainbows coming home, and it’s actually been quite nice to start, it already seems a little to routine. America is a different beast than I anticipated. When the homeland becomes foreign? What do you do?

The goal of the current is to try and be easy on myself. Without paying attention, you can find yourself playing the comparison game. Once that starts, you find yourself along the rat race. Watching myself slowly be antiquated with this factory like 9-5, 5 days a week grind has me on full-blown escape mode. I’m already over it. 1.5 hours in my car a day. Too much work for what seems like not enough money. Everything is expensive. Everyone is busy. Maybe the Hawaii was where I needed to be.

There’s still so much to discover. There’s more to learn. I’m not done yet. I’ve still got plenty of time here to figure out what’s next. This was a homecoming to learn how far I’ve really come. And that seems to be a whole lot further than I ever imagined.

Here’s some scene’s from life when I’m not working.

Still feeling pretty cherry in the cherry 🍒

Self-explanatory

Keep smiling, keep trying

Good ole boy

Random towns, random bbq

First time to Fontanel. My brother said he wants a house this big, but what would you do with that much house?!?

Normal Broadway scenes.

Americans love good imagery.

Beautiful and yet always deserted

Time of the season.

I kept landing on this thing skating and now it’s in pieces lol.

just like old times.

This thing is near my house. It seems a death star ready to go into orbit. I love it and am mystified by it all at the same time. I kinda don’t want to figure it out. I kinda just want to keep imagining what I’m imagining.
