At the end of last season - that would be the summer season - it felt a little bit like we had been living in soap opera. Something antiquated, a bit like high school and lots of drama.
I decided a better name was really "Fantasy Island". Everyone arrives on the island with a wish and a fantasy to play out. Everyone gets a chance to live a bit different than normal lives and see the outcome. Sometimes the outcome doesn't look like you think it would. Other times it's a really bad decision. Or maybe, just maybe, it turns out even better.
In the season premiere today, well, the same cast of characters have arrived on the island. We are still missing a key actor, but he gets here Monday.
The old boyfriend whom let the old girlfriend move in last season - well, they are still living together. And quite honestly, they both don't look good. She actually looks a bit thinner, but doesn't smile. He has gained some weight and he's not smiling either. So, if that is what happiness looks like - well, it's not my kind of happy. We will let them have it.
We have two teenagers whom have been waiting a whole year to see each other. This time, the awkwardness only lasted a few minutes, versus a few days last summer. Although the girl was quite sad and nervous that her dad wasn't going to let us all see each other "the girlfriend got her feelings hurt last summer". She figured out how to get us all at the beach today at the same time. (that's my girl!). All was good in the water.
As I watched the teenagers playing in the water. As I played in the water and a bit of volleyball, I'm truly happy with my life. Happy there is no drama. Happy some teenagers can play.
I was also very happy at the end of the day when I was finally able to say hi to the dad. Just us. He said, "we will all get together. I know she has really missed you." Mahalo.
We've missed her too.
Patience dear teenagers, all in deux time.......
