F**k paradise
Watched the movie The Descendants.
The main character lives in Hawaii. He explains that his friends on the mainland think he lives in paradise, like it’s one long vacation, free from heartache and pain.
His response to that:
Paradise can go fuck itself.
That’s the thing about looking at life from a distance, the grass always looks greener on the other side (and to be fair, if you’re comparing the mainland to Hawaii, it probably is).
We all have our struggles. Some people are good at hiding them. Others can’t stop talking about them.
But no one is immune… to life.
Sometimes it really does feel like paradise. Other times, it’s pure chaos.
Life’s a roller coaster, and we’re all just holding on for the ride.
