I can still remember how lost I felt. It had been a few years already, that my entire life revolved around the idea of love. You see, love is the greatest legacy I was given; love was my purpose in life. When I felt in love with him, I thought I had found what I been missing my whole life. Until the inevitable happened, until my lowest point, that is the moment I realized I needed out. The first thing that crossed my mind was to travel. Traveling is my biggest passion; traveling is what felt like home. A life without traveling simply didn't exist in my mind. At that moment, it just made sense to go; somewhere, anywhere. I decided to go to the one place dearest to my heart. The place where I felt in love, the magical islands of Hawaii. Hawaii was home for me, I had lived there for three years while in college; it was the place where I bloomed into the women I am now. My intention was to go to a place that indisputably made me happy, but what happened in those two mystical weeks changed my life forever. When I was landing in Oahu I felt the usual butterflies, as I saw the deep blue ocean surround those colossus lively green mountains. I went to the my usual beach. Kaimanas beach never disappointed when it came to sunsets. I immediately felt the warmth of aloha spirit, as I ran into old friends, and before I knew it, we were hanging out in the never ending night life of Waikiki. The next day I embarked to the Big Island, where I started to immerse in nature. Waiting into late night to sneak into the trails of volcano, prove to be all worth it when I got to see lava so close that I could hear the sizzling sound of the vibrant red stream. Mouneke'a made my eyes cry when I saw the most magical sunset. The cold and high elevation didn't matter; it truly felt like a dream literary being on top of the clouds. By the time I got to Maui, I was not the same person that left Texas. There I got to experience endless roads of trees and waterfalls that spoke to my heart. When I went in, completely nude, into the ocean of little beach, I felt completely one with nature. I had countless amazing experiences. Time just flew by. It wasn't until I was on my return flight, that I realize I had discovered the best love I could ever ask for, self-love. It wasn't until then, I felt me again. I went to Hawaii to have fun, and I came back with the peace my soul was missing; for that I will always be grateful with the world , for blessing us with such nature beauty.
