To me, Wishtoyo is a place where you can heal spiritually and mentally. It’s a place where you can have bonds with people you thought you would never talk to. The laughter you will share with close friends that soon turn into a family. Wishtoyo to me is a place that you can call home, even though you’re not from there. When someone says the word “Wishtoyo” I can smell the smoke from the fire in the circle where words of wisdom has been spoken. I can hear the waves crashing on the beach and feel the soft warm sand under my feet. I’ve learned that you can’t take life for granted and live your life to the fullest. A wise man said when you’re born and you cry and scream for the first time, that is the sound of freedom and you shape your own path to your journey to your next chapter. I also met this amazing friend from last year. R.I.P. Sho Shoi
