I have Hawaiian in my veins & the 808 always in my heart. Born & raised footprints away from the water, my heart will always remain lost at sea. I spend days at the beach thinking...and from there... Sometimes when I think so much about one thing, it becomes some sort of an abstraction creating more thoughts with more solutions then one can imagine. Usually I engage in such deep thinking that I am always on a quest to find the perfect answer, when in reality there is no exact answer to life’s thoughts. It’s the gift of being able to dream that makes life interesting. Everything that we have been through and every lesson we have learned along the way is what makes our dreams grow. We sleep to dream. We envision certain things that we can’t see with our eyes open because we are blinded from influences other then our own. The bigger we dream and the closer we get to each dream the more we realize how the quest to find the perfect answer to our thought’s is rockier then we had thought. When we search for our dreams we are rewarded just as much as we suffer. I learned that God isn’t waiting for me to do something big in my life. God instead is watching every little thing I do. I've learned that it's the little things on the daily that make life beautiful and meaningful. It is the little things that make up our lives. It is the things that we appreciate more as we grow older and we put and find our love. I am writing my own story from thoughts to dreams and eventually reality. You learn to live reality and one day reality will be better then your dreams. I've learned that you never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back. Without certain people in my life, I wouldn't be able to be where I'm at today. I've grown through many experiences, but I think the worst ones are the ones I have benefited from.KahealaniHonda.

A True Hero

Picture curtousy of the Star Advertiser
A hero is someone who is admired and kept in the hearts of those who admire them. At the age of 17, Keaton Wong has become a true hero in everyone's hearts. Even if you didn't know him personally, his story is very touching. Every individual experiences a unique journey during their lifetime. For Keaton, his journey was shortlived but a very accomplishing one. A determined and motivated young man, Keaton was on a mission to successfully achieve certain goals before his life journey came to an end. Diagnosed with an aggressive form of nerve cancer, this strong willed young man didn't let anything stop him from doing what everyone else thought he couldn't do.
I myself witnessed him accomplish one of the last things on his checklist- high school graduation. His fellow classmates behind him and the audience in front of him rose to their feet as the frail and bald headed Keaton received his diploma. Watery eyes, chicken skin, and the sound of applaud filled the arena. He made it! 
Although Keaton passed away four days later this genuine and inspiring 17 year old made a commitment to his life's journey. He battled until the very end, while family and friends supported him along the way. He will forever remain in everyone's hearts as a true hero. KahealaniHonda.
