But first...- a quick list of things that are awesome.. Because really there ARE ton of awesome things and I am often reminded in life that looking on the bright side and maintaining a positive attitude is super important in order to be a proper and well adjusted adult human being. Am I right? (Duh I'm always right)
1. Beautiful beauty wrapped in a snug blanket of more super pretty beautifulness with a flipping cherry on top. Majestic green mountains with waterfalls and palm trees, hibiscus flowers and unreal beaches with white sand and crystal blue water where sea turtles reside and tropical fish of all different magical colors swim. High fives all around for awesome fantastic
beautifulness
Sounds great right? I mean it's a magical place that millions of people visit every year. A place of aloha dreams and mahalo Shaka brah, shoots and leis and Dole pineapple whip that folks save for and plan romantic honeymoons to and stuff.
and yes, that's my whole list jammed into one little paragraph.

Except I kinda hate it a little bit (or a lot, whatever)
Here is an example of a typical day in my life.
Wake up and cover all exposed skin in loads and loads of sunscreen.
Take kids to school and try to get in a workout before the blazing hot fireball in the sky starts shooting it's laser beams at me and burning the shit out of me leaving oozing weeping blisters and a tender coating of red inflamed flesh on my entire body.
Go to my safe air conditioned lonely bedroom to cool down.
Do some housework and work on my business.
Realize that it's nearly time to venture out to pick up children and start panicking.
Get in vehicle and drive past a bazillion brave and acclimated people riding bikes towards the school to pick up their children and wonder how the hell they are not being sizzled into tiny bits of charred flesh and start to feel like some sort of freak for not being able to handle a bike ride outdoors at 2pm without burning and sweating and crying.
Start crying, avoiding awkward eye contact with all other parents while waiting for kids in fear that if anyone talks to me I'll blurt out "I hate Hawaii please help me escape!"
people here are so damn nice. So so nice. Inviting me to the beach and to come work out with them in the middle of the day... outside. Um no. I can't. Really. For serious. It's not fun.
Also, sand is annoying.
Okay okay I know....
How bout this? I'll make ya a deal. I'll write something happy next time. Maybe.
So, tell me. Have you ever lived somewhere you didn't like? Why were you there and how did you cope?
