As an aside, what dating apps do you use? I lived in Hawaii 6 years growing up. Not a day goes by that I don’t reminisce. I wonder sometimes if I could’ve done things differently; if I maybe could’ve gotten a little more out of the experience. Perhaps if I resolved to be a “learn-it-all,” I might have come away with more to share. But thank you for the pictures, and yes, surfing was frustrating but fun. And even if you caught nothing, you got good exercise and slept well that evening. And you were hungry for more.
Hey Blue! Appreciate this share deeply :) Thank you for asking. I redownload and delete Hinge about once or twice a week. It feels too curated and addictive of a game to have on my phone. You're not alone in thinking about doing things differently. The thought frequents my mind that I am not "maximizing" enough of my life here and take too much for granted. Even with my mentality, life feels overwhelming and that can cause just as much paralysis in my expression of sharing. I'm glad you like the pictures. These are the only photographic evidence of my attempts at this sport. Very cool that you lived here for 6 years. This island and aloha spirit is such a unique and magical feeling. ❤️ Sending sunshine your way :)
I like what you said on your website about yourself and what being a learn-it-all means to you:
“I’m on a journey to "learn-it-all". To me, that doesn't mean to complete learning but reinventing our relationship with how we learn.”
Your newsletter feels like a front row seat to watching you go through the process of learning all the things and reinventing your relationship to everything you’re engaging with, but mostly, yourself.
I love that :)
Also lol love that overdue library books are on your “out” list because I’m the worst at returning books on time, so if I had my own list, they would be out for me too.
What a lovely reminder Sandra. I forget what I mean sometimes and let learn-it-all mean I need to put pressure on myself but I am merely reflecting on my relationship with my life and all that I am learning in it. Sharing about it makes it less lonely. I am so glad you enjoy that front row seat! These words mean so much, thank you Sandra 🙏❤️
Lol I still need to return my book. Making that a priority today :)

Hope your faith in why you're sharing these letters makes its way back to you when its ready to! 💙 💙 💙 💙
Hahahaha! It does really feel good to finally get them returned too.
An accomplishment. And an excuse to visit the library :)
Be better than me, Jen. I believe in you.
$7 later and it felt great to return that book!
