What ever happened to communities?
When I left the mighty wairoa I thought every thing would be for the better. While I was growing up there I kept asking myself why on earth would any one want to live there.
As I grow older I start to notice what I left behind and why people shifted to places like wairoa. For starters there’s the obvious, cheap housing and land. It has a nice river and there is a lighthouse practically in the middle of the town , far from any sea. Its also central to areas great for outdoors people like hunting, fishing and growing weed.
But the biggest thing I miss is community, I remember countless town activates like fundraising for a set of jaws of life, fund raising to help MR Shaw get another helicopter and all the coming together when cyclone bola wiped out our bridge.
I cant help but start to feel lonely in this dog eat dog world I now live in.
