Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you’re free
Look into your heart and you’ll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment, maybe sing with me
All – ah peaceful melody
And it’s our God-forsaken right to be loved.
Jason Mraz’s video “I’m Yours” was filmed on the islands of Oahu and Kauai. I stumbled upon it today, and can’t stop watching it.
I was lucky enough to live in Hawaii for a couple of years, and there’s no place like it on earth. People are friendly, the sky is a beautiful piercing blue and the friendships last forever. Greens and blues are as ever-present as the sun. There, possibilities are endless, as is love. Some people say paradise doesn’t exist. They’ve never lived in Hawaii.
I try not to think of it too much because my heart breaks a little every time. I never thought I could develop a love for a home so fast. And at the same time, feel I’ll never get it back as it once was.
If you’ve never been there, I insist you must go. Stay for a week, stay forever.
Someday, I hope to have a home there. Someday.
