Hawaii is in dire need of a SuperFairy. I’m not referring to the controversial ALAKAI established to provide Hawaii residents and tourists alike the option to travel by ship between each island’s harbor ports. And, I’m not eluding to a Rupalesque Amazonian “tita” to be unleashed to set some people straight, although the thought has crossed my mind. I’m talking about an intervention, a spiritual one focused on change from the inside out. Whether you’re a believer of fairies, angels, chakras; it’s all the same, Hawaii just needs it and quickly.
Perhaps today’s turmoil is historical, perhaps, but regardless of the point of origin of this oppression, it exists. This blog is not to place blame, but to encourage each individual to make a conscious effort in searching themselves, identify ones strengths and weaknesses, and begin healing from within and capitalize on personal growth and development of their strengths.
The recent headlines and stories depict a Hawaii that I’m unfamiliar with causing me to ask myself, is this my home? Allegations of a father and son assaulting a couple over a fender bender; children being detained by law enforcement during a protest that witnessed adults verbally assaulting strangers and causing property damage; parents allegedly choosing to starve their child; a youth soccer coach admitting to sexual assault against his players; a teenager accused of murdering his neighbor to impress his friends; high school football players engaged in a school rivalry brawl; and I haven’t touched upon our community’s struggle with crystal meth or affordable housing woes. All of these are controversial and debatable, but to debate is to perpetuate the need for immediate intervention.
I am not naïve and understand that wrong and evil exists. But, we need a SuperFairy to touch all of the residents of the State of Hawaii to bring healing to every individual, families and communities.
Otherwise, someone might actually unleash the “other” Superfairy, you know the Rupalesque Amazonian “tita”, and if you’re from Hawaii you know, “no mess with mahus!”

I thought I was the only one. Everything I write sounds like this. I am trying to be adult, trying to shake it off. I can’t. So, I hide it. I want to say it but I don’t want and cannot stand the verbal retaliation. You’re right, what happened? I’m hurt and I’m angry. But, I want to make it better, fix it, tell them to “stop talking dumb.”
Big hugs and know that you’re home, but home is a little troubled these days. Let’s focus on what’s good about us and tell the argument seekers and the criminal element to sit down and shut up before we kick their ass or buy them a one-way ticket to anywhere but here!
Yeah, me too. This is my home and I love it even more than I ever did because it needs all the love we can muster. You’re not alone.
