Everything shit? Oh, no, better not.

प्रकाशित: 10.02.2017

After the almost long-term relationship with Maui and love at first sight with Kauai, I started a short affair with Big Island. Well, what can I say, if it doesn't fit, you just have to let it go. And so my affair came to a premature end. Active volcano, snorkeling paradise, hiking, waterfalls, outrageously good-looking and diverse this island, but it's like in real life, it lacks that certain something and then even the most beautiful place in the world can become uninteresting and lifeless. Unthinkable what I would have done without the company of my fellow traveler who was with me at the hostel for a few days. I don't know how I ended up in it afterwards, but the next two days I spent with an American in his 60s, with whom I had the most curious conversations about happiness and relationships and who disturbed me. So I had to flee. So I spontaneously traveled to Oahu for a second date with Honolulu. And there I spent three wonderful days with the girls watching the Superbowl, eating cheesecake and dancing, hiking, road tripping, swimming, shopping, and watching surfer boys.
Situation saved for now. My next flight was supposed to go from Big Island via Honolulu to Bangkok. I thought I was being smart and decided to just board in Honolulu and let the first flight expire. Asked at the airport, no problem, Big Island to Honolulu flight canceled. Mega stress the day before. Airline emailed me, what, why canceled, no way, partial routes are not to be skipped, you have to board in Big Island, otherwise the whole flight will be forfeit. After hours of phone calls, the end result was that I had to book a new flight from Honolulu to Big Island, only to fly back to Honolulu from there... who understands it? Nobody.
Is everything shit now because I didn't feel comfortable on Big Island, let a negative person bring me down for two days, then it rained all day in Honolulu and I had to spend money on a useless flight and lost a whole day? I briefly considered it and then thought, nope. I'm really glad I left early instead of just sitting it out where I didn't like it. I'm glad I met such a negative guy who showed me how I definitely don't want to end up and that I'm on the right path with what I think and do. And instead of getting upset about the extra flight, I thought, well, I lost €70, that hurts, but hey, better than having to hang out with Big Island for three more days.
If we could manage to be a little more relaxed and positive in everyday life, that would be something. Instead, we get upset when the train is 10 minutes late again, or when there's no celery left in the supermarket. Every loss of time annoys us like crazy, because that's our greatest luxury. We want it to run optimally to make the most of it. However, if you have a little more time, the perspective changes a bit and it's perfect when you're happy, even if it's not perfect.
In that sense, MAHALO Hawaii for all the magical experiences, for being able to admire the most wonderful landscapes with my mouth open, for being able to laugh until my stomach hurt, for being able to feel so free and happy that my heart almost burst, for having time and space to see clearly and for being able to learn from others and share with them. I had no expectations and that was my luck, now the bar is set high and the journey continues to Thailand. But I am ready to be surprised once again.
