Living on an Island Paradise
Ok, so many of you people may think that growing up on an
island might just be the absolute best thing ever. Well it is and isn’t at the
same time. Growing up and hearing tourists come or foreigners who are visiting
the island say things such as "living in paradise" or "its
summer everyday", in my opinion this is not true. I have lived on an
island for my entire life ( eighteen years to be exact) and to be honest I mean
yeah I have beaches and "summer like" things to do, but really it
really isn’t as cracked up to be. I mean, don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t give up
living here for anything. It just feels like a lot of people think growing up
on an island that quite literally only has sixty thousand people and that is
only twenty two miles long is something so out of this world, that you can’t
even fathom it.
Well to tell you the truth beaches get pretty boring after a
while. Seeing the same faces over, and over and over again gets pretty boring.
And on top of all that every one of your acquaintances, friends and family
knows exactly what you’re doing at all moments of your life. Nothing can be
hidden from them, trust me! For example you leave your house at 11:00 am and by
11:01 your mom or dad or someone is calling you and asking "So exactly
where are you going, and who are you going with?”
So...I would never give this up living here on my beautiful
island for anything, its just that its not as picture perfect as many people
traveling may think.

ReplyDeleteDon't forget "island fever" as well. Sometimes you just feel like you need to get off the island for a break, in order to come back and appreciate what it has to offer.
