I am he as you are me as you are we and we are all together. It is difficult to keep a secret here. I am a very private person slow to reveal even the basics to another person (I think some of you will vouch for that). It is very rare that I open up completely to another person. In my former profession, I was a clamshell shut tight. You couldn't pry a confidence out of me. However, I am a very expressive and even gregarious shy person. Yes, there is such a thing.
So the challenge for me here has been that expressive side. I want to protect myself and, more importantly, others, but I want to express myself as well. On the mainland in a city of 6 million, that is easy. Here, it is more of a challenge. I am aware of the paradox of pleading for privacy (or at least complaining about the lack of it) while going on Punaweb to express it. I'm a bundle of contradictions, partly truth and mostly fiction. But my attempt to walk that line is genuine and my intentions are honorable. It is part of the challenge of living here....
Doesnt matter where you live.... on very early Friday morning we found out that one of the Hilo ER nurse's BFF was working at the LAFD same station as my baby brother. She texted him to find out if he knew my BB. He said to my BB as they went out on a run - Hey your brother in law is in ER right now In hilo. My BB called me... (we had already left him a msg so she was not divulging a confidence.)
Hilo- LA - Hilo... LOL
