Over the next two weeks I will be blogging about my experiences and adventures in Hawaii. I am 18, and this will be my first major trip alone. I've been to Hawaii twice before but this time is a lot different. I am expecting not only great memories, and an a great adventure, but also an eye opening experience. In our society today we, supposedly, turn 18 and enter the real world. I've had a little taste of the real world, but not on my own, and I think every young person needs that opportunity to get away, even if only for a little while and really experience life.
I want to remember this trip as something monumental, and I'm going to document it as such. I want to, as Thoreau said,
live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life. To put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived Thoreau also said, "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation." Most people are quietly crying out for something more. To live with more purpose. And I refuse to live like that. I never want to miss out of a risk that's worth taking. So here is goes. Two Weeks In Hawaii |
