La Tierra de Pinos y Paz- Campamento, Olancho, Honduras

I dont know how long its been but im guessing im going on three years since i saw any family member outside of my present family, composed of dad, mom and 2 bros. Its interesting how we are all the same people but we all lead different lives. We are all ourselves and our circumstances. Some of us live without a parent, some of us our only children, however that love you share for a family member is so comforting and warm. I miss that feeling and I know when I see my cousins they are going to be more evil (haha) and look different.

I miss...

the smell of smoked wood.

the breezies

the dirt roads.

the park.

the rivers.

cold coke.

the free diet(3 small meals a day).

the fried fish (my uncles would go out at 2am and come back later with a bunch of fish and im guessing they jump into the private fish breeding grounds and jack the fish, ahahha...oh well, I enjoy it).

staring at the chickens ( A chickens life is seemingly pointless other than to provide food and its funny because if youve ever observed a chicken, their life is pretty simple, all they do is wake up, potentially reproduce, lay eggs, spend the rest of the day pecking at the ground, and eventually jump on trees and fall asleep).

messing around with the rooster.

What i dont miss is the stupid rooster doing his call at random hours of the night. I also dont miss the mosquitoes.

I do however miss

the nice people and the cheap prices

playing soccer on a hill which is pretty stupid because the ball would roll down everytime and we would have to go get it.

playing soccer at midnight, in the streets, in flaming, humid weather

the stars

the malls of the city

the bombay tacos at jacobos

the humble people

riding on the back of pickup trucks.

the uneducated rude little kids that use foul language in a hilarious manner.

the new years party, i didnt go but i enjoyed the music. The music could be heard for miles, i lived right next door ahahhaha.

the sound of machine guns at midnight.

But what I really miss are

the warm feeling of real freedom,

the pines, the peace

the loss of the sense of time

my aunts, uncles, cousins and my grandma.
