“I left my heart in Hawaiiiii…. There on a a beach it calls to me”

So a gf and I just came back from our Hawaii trip and I have some serious post Hawaii blues. There is something about this place that felt like a perfect fit. I don't know if its just because yes, I was on holidays and yes, I was totally relaxed, but I think that in many ways Hawaii has a lifestyle that I would love for myself in a parallel universe.

It was amazing to wake up every morning and not to have a care in the world. And to meet people who just live for the beach, the sun and the next wave was amazingly refreshing as the water we swam in everyday we were there.

Waking up to the warm air and beautiful palm trees made me feel energised and alive. Looking forward to a new adventure was what we lived for and it makes me question why I couldn't live like that everyday. Am I being unrealistic? I mean I have always been a dreamer, but for whatever reason… there is something about Hawaii that has made me want to chase a new dream…

I would love to move there, learn how to surf and teach random tourists whilst trying not to drown them (or them drown me ;)….).

I could become a hula dancer, wear coconuts and grass skirts everyday- Forget about my suits and heels…

I could take people out on that booze cruise every day and watch the sunset- Forget about my coffee meetings & watching my computer shut down.

I even had a friend suggest that I could be a card dealer- Forget about dealing and negotiating business.

Such tempting offers, when compared to my 8 to 5, some days 8 to 8- desk job which I was so sure I was passionate about 2 weeks ago. Today was my first day back at work, I made it through ok. Mopy, but managed to fit in a smile or two… I may have to wear my bikini under my clothes tomorrow just to get me through.

Anyways, I really need to shake it off…

But I did say to my boy that if I felt like this after a month we need to move to Hawaii, get married and plan to raise our surfer babies. He was happy to oblige ofcourse, however I am sure he thinks that this is another one of my momentary lapses of sanity haha… So we’ll see in a month.

Oh Hawaii blues- woe is me...
