Finally Hawaii, one of my greatest vacations to date - filled with hikes, waterfalls, cliff jumps, fishes, kayak trips, and tons of sibling bonding. I was really discouraged earlier in the year when I thought I wouldn’t be able to make this trip happen, but a huge thanks to my older brother Christian and Jordan for helping me make this trip a reality.
You know, I’ve always thought of myself as a generally physically fit person, able to adapt to most environments. But this trip was on a whole different level. I was tested in more ways than I could have imagined, and had to face some very real fears I have, especially with heights. But this trip also rewarded me with a fortified sense of resourcefulness, strength, and courage that I had almost forgot was in me.
The experience was truly eye opening and unforgettable.
