It takes just one off chance that I happen to run into blogs from Kona that set off what I haven't felt in all these years being away from home: being home sick. Well, it isn't nessessarily home that I am missing (not saying I hated being home), but maybe more the atmosphere and peace of being in Kona.
To this day, it is the only place that I ever experienced absolute silence. Ok, more like silence in the way of hearing no cars or people. And when you look around, all you see is the hills, the mountain, the sky, sun and clouds. No huge buildings, no freeways, nothing!
On the flip side, I know the Kona that I grew up in is slowly fading away. The last time I was home (this past January), there were a lot more houses and a lot more businesses. Slowly yet surely the place is all changing.
What I am happy to see is that my home town hadn't changed at all. Now that place is still exactly like I remembered it from back in 2002, with the exception of a couple of new houses here and there.
Aw man, just thinking further about my memories of home is making me sad in a way. Back in Kona I was able to write a lot more then I can here. Over here my brain is just hectic all the time and these days there just seems to be no peace at all.
But then again, that's life for ya, isn't it?
