I recently just traveled to St. Maarten (French Caribbean) and when I say that was the most beautiful shit I have ever experienced in my life. It was so much culture there, like black culture. I dont know if I was expecting that. Prior to me getting there I didn't do any research of the island because I like to be surprised. The food was amazing im talking straight Caribbean and the thing is they had so many options like Chinese, Jamaican, African just a mix of everything.
The island itself is very tranquil I almost felt like I was in a trance, I completely lost track of time. My soul craves that kind of existence. I felt myself manifesting getting a house there so now that I want that, its already done. I just have to keep believing. Ive traveled to many beautiful places but this one was simply just intoxicating. If God lived anywhere in the world I am almost sure he lived in St. Marrten. I am literally trying to come up with a word to describe the feeling of that island but there is not one in the english language to make someone understand. I felt that island with my whole entire body.
The water was so dreamy and serene, it felt like silk on my skin. It felt like as soon as I submerged my body into it we became one. I could travel there alone and not have an ounce of fear. The thing I loved the most was that the locals had not one sense of urgency, nobody was in a rush. I cherished that. I really believe I dont belong in the states. Wherever God carries me I do pray my final destination is somewhere just like that. I just want to breathe that air again. If I was loose every single material possession that I own I would just go to that island and float in my life because everything is a breeze.
Last but not least I did partake in a very dangerous activity that I made it through. I went hiking on this steep ass mountain with shoes that had non grip soles. The tour guide Devin (which wasn't really a tour guide) because at this point we rented a car from him, bought weed from him ended up becoming our homie. Devin took us on a wild ass adventure. I saw my life flash before my eyes, before we went he said a prayer. I thought oh how sweet but now I understand why. I stood on the mountain and cried because im thinking no I did not bring my goofy ass out here to die on a cliff. Devin said to me in my ear "this is what life feels like sometimes it gets hard and you dont know where to go but dont ever stop just keep going. I made it to the other side and it was beautiful. I'll never forget that.
