My eyes are welling up with tears, remembering my days there. Life wasn't all that great, but it was still good. In spite of the bullies and persecution I went through, I still miss it. The way the air smelled just before the rain fell. The way you had to keep one eye on the trees when walking through the boonies, to watch out for falling fruit and coconuts. I even miss the bullies and the school they harassed me in. It was there that I had my greatest adventures in life, with the exception of a trip to NY in 1992, and my baptism in 1988. It was there that I became a hacker, a traveler, a minister, a protector, a scholar and a man. It was there that I first fell in love.
Don't get me wrong, I love Washington and consider it my home too. I am just feeling homesick for Guam right now. Partly because of how lousy my life has been the last five years. My extended family is migrating back there, my dad is dead, I'm treated like a nobody here, but in Guam the name Taitano evokes respect. and a stateside educated Taitano would be unstoppable.
I am a Vagabond at heart, though; and I will need to travel frequently. But what better place to be a Stationary Vagabond than the hub of the Pacific! Travel is imminent. And, what better excuse to go there than to visit my tea suppliers and visa versa?
I'll have to wait till I graduate to move over there, though. I'll probably visit next summer though.
