I have to agree with Not Afraid that the sense of being happier in Hawaii was likely just the blush of yummy feelings that wash over you there. As soon as the wash is done, you will still be you.

I hate to play armchair psychologist (ok, maybe I don't hate it so much) ... but happiness does not come from circumstances. It has nothing to do with where you are, what you have or what you do. It's all about who you are, who you are being.


If you have to explore that more fully by moving back to Hawaii, so be it. I think you will realize that, even with the beautiful weather, the friendllier people, the hot guys who throw themselves at you, the loving family and the home sense ... happiness does not flow from any of these things. Good mood and happiness are not quite the same thing.


Of course, I'm completely biased. I have 30 other reasons for you not to move ... but they're all pretty selfish, I guess.


I stand by the happiness thing, tho.
