I've never found a paradise that lasts a long time or distance. For example Negril or even Jamaica are not paradise for me. Some locations can be a temporary paradise, like up top of Orange Hill next to the school. I spent no clue how long there because time stood still I was was in heaven taking in the sights, smelling the flowers...that was a temporary paradise. Cars going by or anything else could end that paradise quickly. The same happens up at Roaring River while swimming and up in the hills with the Rasta.
Fantasies...no time for them, I'm a goal oriented person...set achievable goals, meet them and move on.
