    Aloha from Hawaii

    The word No

    I discovered the word no
    The look of disbelief and disappointment on some people’s faces has me cringing 😬

    I’ve never said that word before nor am I proud of myself for saying it either but recent events have shown me the truth about some people

    I feel bad of course being I’m naturally a giver and I won’t take money back from anyone who asks for my help or anything like that. I might ask for a favor in return though.

    But with recent events involving a family member who as I put it an asshole to mostly anyone blood-related who lives here on Big Island has me asking my friends to help me before the deadline instead of my own blood. It’s embarrassing and frustrating for me to ask my friends for help.

    I’m use to being the pack mule of the family which I know isn’t a good thing especially at my age now but I do what I gotta do to help whether you’re nice or not. But I’m starting to see most people for who they really are.

    God help me and forgive me when I start with NO syndrome for now on. I feel bad yes, but it’s time I focus on myself once this is over

    Aloha from Hawaii

    Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.

    My first day of high school I was so nervous. My mom had to take me to school because I was so scared of the upperclassmen or something would happen. I got to school my mom had to literally shove me out of the car and my cousin was waiting for me.

    He showed me around so I wouldn’t get lost and where all my classes were. I spent my recesses in the library where I earned the nickname Bookworm or I hung out with my friends on the football field playing football. I had a great day. I just hated the mountain of homework that came home with me.

    Aloha from Hawaii

    What is your favorite place to go in your city?

    My granny’s even though she’s not there anymore. I still can feel her love whenever I come to her place. It’s like heaven on earth for me.

    Aloha from Hawaii

    Your life without a computer: what does it look like?

    It would look like a black abyss of Hell on the Earth. My heart would truly break if I had to live without my laptop.

    Aloha from Hawaii

    My happy place where I’m able to be myself in a good way and it’s therapeutic for me.

    My happy place where I’m allowed to let my thoughts and emotions lose to calm the storm within.

    My happy place where I retreat from the storm of life whenever it overwhelms me

    My happy place where I let my imagination run wild in a good way and write ✍️ my little 🖤out and the world 🌍 is all right again

    Yes, I know I’m a strange person but the alternative would be worse if I didn’t have my happy place for an hour or two everyday.

    What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

    No matter what life obstacles throws at you get back up dust yourself look life obstacles in the eye and say “is that all you got?” And don’t look back just keep pushing forward. —-advice from my late mother

    Aloha from Hawaii

    Quietly listening
    Silently watching
    Distancing seeing
    And yet still being judged

    Some hurt others by not practicing what they preach

    Some hurt others by being misinformed or being ignorant by judging others

    I watch this on a daily and I had it happen to me on so many occasions

    I have a tendency to blame myself for other people’s actions thinking I wasn’t good enough or was I was just pathetic

    I later learned
    I’m neither
    Just the villain in other people’s stories but they forgot in what chapters they came to me for help

    I learned to forgive them
    And to forgive myself
    I learned to guard my heart ❤️ a lot better than before
    I learned to trust only a few people

    I also learned to keep my chin up and no matter how many times I stumble upon LIFE’S difficulties to keep moving forward

    I also learned through experience
    I am a good person and I am not as weak as others think I am

    I’m just another survivor
    I’m just another warrior
    Who had beaten up by life but I refused to stand down or surrender
    And I defiantly refused to let Satan win because God is my Protection
