break free

the inability to change and how to break free
left me stuck i want to see me
let loose and not broken hearted
instead feelings of doubt clouded
my judgment of the battle to feel secure
the reality is I was never good for me
and me wanted more than I was willing to work for

the inability to change stunted my happiness
i didn't want to be frozen i wanted to see me
clamped into a tight fist raised up high
i needed to snatch back my power i had denied
the other me that couldnt see past the clouds
transculent me no more, here i am right in front
seeing me for me, accepting me for me
true smiles and heartfelt pleas
to my soul
get it together
work on it
pray on it
visualize your happiness
be your happiness
then change your inabilities
and break free.

Aloha!

:view from the top of Diamondhead:


One of the hardest things about taking a vacation or traveling is having to return to your reality. And when your reality is cold and snowy it makes you wonder why you came back at all. That's my current battle. Hawaii offered one of the prettiest sunsets, super nice people, incredible views, beautiful weather (minus a few windy and rainy moments). Meanwhile, DC is just...yea.

Some of the highlights I enjoyed: hiking up to the top of Diamondhead mountain was well worth seeing the million dollar view of the ocean and Waikiki beach area and for only a buck entrance fee, riding a catamaran to the middle of the ocean adding to the spectular views and insanely blue waters, seeing Aloha Stadium where the Pro Bowl is held (attending a Pro Bowl is on my bucket list), attending a Luau and just laying out and catching some sunrays on the beach.

I plan to do a real write up on my time in Hawaii, meanwhile, here are a few pics of a good time.
