life is the most beautiful thing i've ever had the privilege to take part in. :)

Tonight, just when I was beginning to feel out of place and sad, roomies kicked in. I got to speak my piece--which was maybe all I needed, to say out loud what was heavy on my mind--and then we all just got to Be. Together. Later, Makuakane came over with his guitar and played for us and sang and it made me realize: Ohana is continuously being brought to us. I wouldn't trade this island, this life, for anything. I love where I am, who I'm with, and what I'm learning. Life is perfect. Not because it is by any standard, but because life is, in all circumstances, perfect.

I think of my tutu often; and tonight, it seemed she was bringing me good things.

The things that occupy my mind (I think too much, I know) pale in comparison to the incredible life I've been given. Even with its faults.
