So I've been in Hawaii for a week and discovered how much...smoother my thoughts come out on paper than in words or typing even.
-(No, this isn't a post about how my 'actual' vacation went and how everyone should go to Hawaii even though we won't all get the chance; no, everyone's heard that before. I want to talk about the little things, Things most people won't care about unless it involves themselves but hey, at least it's better than hearing me go on about how awesome my trip was and how 'YOU' didn't get to go)
While there, I finally got around to buying myself an actual, factual, journal. With which I will share with you my personal thoughts about returning home after a week on the Island:
"Hawaii was a wonderful trip; but after a week away from home I've discovered just how much I would really miss Arizona. I guess that's a good sign. When your vacation goes super well but even so you still can't wait to be home with friends and family again. Truth is, I don't know if I could have stayed in Hawaii longer. If I did I probably would have gotten so home sick [wow, home sick for Arizona...] that it may have lead to some sort of depression...It is said that 'home is where the heart is' sometimes it takes some time away to figure out just where 'home' is. I think I did." [bleck, so corny...]

Another note I have jotted down in there is another reason why I don't feel like talking about the experience itself:
"As I'm sure you can tell, I was having so much fun I just didn't have time to write down the experience. But that's ok because the best experiences just cannot be recaptured or should be. They are your; and yours alone."
-Amber
Unfortunately those are really the only worthwhile thoughts because 1."having so much fun" and 2.I spent every waking moment with my dear friend and as anyone who possess a 'journal' of some sort knows that you just don't feel like you can write your honest thoughts, even if they are just a recollection of the day's events, when someone is always close to witness you doing so and possibly wanting to know what you're writing about. Don't get me wrong it's not that I felt she would hold it against me if I said I didn't want to tell her the details of an entry; it's just that when someone's around you your mind doesn't feel as open to say/write what it is truly wanting to. ya know?
Moving on; I'm back home and I can tell you I'm so happy that I am. I've missed my apartment and family there (my boyfriend and our 2 cats) and I hope someday I'll be able to go out on another vacation and feel the same glee of missing my loved ones and home once more.
