Good to hear your voice of reason, you need to talk about your ups and downs as well as your ups especially to the people who matter to you, we all want to hear it. Please remind me of my past anytime and everytime you want, just be honest, as you know I am honest too.
You have to tell people you love about good and bad, like you said, D didnt know about the drugs, I know you never talked to me about them,and I only knew from the bad times. I always wondered about this, and why you fear confiding in me or other people you love, unless you are afraid to hear the truth, or just dont want to admit a bad choice. D does also pay well and leave you with lots of free time to yourself, so even if he was not involved in problems in the past, working around him did set up conditions for problems both in HI ans SB, so what realistically will you do to avoid the same traps for problems? Surfing and scuba diving doesnt sound really like you? there are sure to be meditation centers or other more realistic groups you can join or meet with in Hawaii, like you said they have problems, but also a lot of people there who seek solutions, rather then repeat problems.
It sounds like good reasons for going to Hawaii, but be clear it is not the easiest place either, and there are down sides to it also. Go and try it out, but have a back up plan a "plan B", just in case... even if there is no plan to leave Hawaii, at least have a plan how long you would have to stay there and what you might do after, would you were to come back, where would you go? Would you job hunt for resorts or elsewhere while you are in Hawaii as a option, if yo want to leave? Who else do you knw besides D in HI, that can help you if you need to?
Remember there are good and bad people (weak and strong), and you can always count me among the good people you can be honest with, whether good or bad times in your life, and always feel free to remind me of my past, there is nothing in my past I hide or have hidden from anyone, My childhood had many bad parts, but as an adult, I have left childhood behind. Though I too have suffered very much from the actions of bad people on my life. I stand behind my choices I have made as an Adult. Childhood, is well another matter ;) Just respect my privacy and if you have questions of my past, ask or write to me privately, as I dont think you really understand much about my life, from the way you mention my past? I don't think you understand that there are many bad people who easilly try to poison, murder and rob people for a sucky job or pathetic school assignment, but the fact is that there are, and not to sound or make you feel paranoid, but there is a difference from bad personal choices and being a victim of criminal persecution and attacks. A difference from being stalked and persecuted or people trying to murder you, and having an addiction problem. Our problems in adult life have been very different, self victimization is different from being strictly a victim of others, not to say that most self victimization does not regularly stem from other victimizing you and setting you up for self victimization, of over powering addiction, but they do differ in terms of maturity. Not to sound superior or condescending, but I can see how many problems you might be alluding to had very different outcomes for me, as a victim, then for people who also victimize themselves. Corruption and crime is a part of our world, and not an illusion, we need to be aware of it, and guard against helping to defeat ourselves, even under increasing pressure from others. The maxim, though stands true for all of us, we can not change bad people around us and it is a waste of time to struggle against them, but we can change everything about ourselves and it is foolish not to continue to do so at every oppertunity. I know my adult problems come from criminals and forces outside of myself, and so I have no need to hide my adult past. Even my childhood, I can defend, as I know my heart and choices were aimed at good ends self growth, and not greed or evil.
Where there is competition or shortage of demand, there will always be temptation for people to do bad on others, but we don't have to hide what happens to us. I know my past shows my strength and fortitude against a lot of black adversity, as do all people, but there is nothing I hide, or am ashamed of, I know my heart has always been in the right place, and my actions have been the best I could do at any time, with that in mind, why should I hide anything? or be ashamed of it. Please tell me about it or anything you think is in my past? Though respect my privacy, as it is easy to misinterpret bad times, especially bad times caused by criminals and murderers set to defeat us.
Remember who your friends are, and don't fear the past or our choices good or bad, we do try to do the best we can. Have faith.
