If you're currently having a hard go of it, remember that we here at the 'grad care about you.
I took a bus trip around Hawaii today, and I honestly forget that I ever thought of it as some paradise. It looks broken, homeless people are everywhere, streets haven't been maintained in almost a decade at least, and most areas seem just... broken. Then you get to the cost of Waikiki, and suddenly there is trump tower, a 20 story resort, perfectly manicured gardens, and not a single faded line on the roads. The only parts that are even nice are where the millionaire landlords live in mansions and where the state makes room for tourists. Fuck this colonialist shit. I want to do so much, but talking to the brainwashed populace, I have almost no hope.
