I met so many people who came from other places. Had been there, 3 weeks, 3 months, 1yr, 28yrs, etc.

Don't care. I don't really interact with most of my neighbors traditionally (might be 1-2 I get cool with). I'm perfectly fine enjoying the islands and living in our little bubble. But from my week there...everyone is really nice so it won't be hard to make friends. It's just an easier way of life, more chill and less hustle. It's pricey to an extent (milk is like $7-8 dollars for a gallon lmao) but the exchange is worth it to me.

>Damn your youngest is headed to HS? Whyd i think you had a kid
>around the same age is my odest (9).

Nah, I said by the time my youngest is headed to HS. I have a blended fam now (I have 2 from my first go round, she has 2 and we have 1 together). Ages are 9-8-7-6 and 2. When the 2yr old is 13, he might be facing a transplant to finish HS in the Aloha state lol.
