Without The Ocean, I Feel Homesick.

I live on the island of Oahu, the main island in Hawaii. I could sit and stare at the ocean all day. Something about the ocean just seems to calm me when I'm at my lowest or just having a very bad day. The ocean is my escape when I feel that I can't take life anymore.

I remember going to Kansas last summer to visit my dad and his new family (they are totally awesome). I remember being so home sick because. here in Hawaii, no matter where you go, the ocean is never far from your sight. But when I was in Kansas, all I could see were trees. The closest I seen to a large amount of water was this river that separated Kansas and Missouri, right behind my dad's house. But it wasn't the same. It didn't have that salty smell that I love so much, the sand that i loved to feel between my toes, the soothing sounds of the ocean as the water tried to reach shore. it was so different. I wanted to return home as quickly as possible.
