A wishful tropical patron?

I claim to be a person driven to a tropical attitude. But I wonder why it lies so strong within. I visit beaches, oceans, and equatorial destinations on random whimsical vacations. I've seen and felt enough to think I belong amongst people of the islands and how their spirits live and breath. I've been graced with tropical bliss that claim the hearts of so many. During a few visits I thought I had enough, just wanting to go back home, back to familiarity and the comforts I thought was needed. But I look back and think that my worn down attitude toward those feelings were nothing but stifling drinking fatigue. I strive to believe my feelings toward the restraints of the concrete jungle are just that, a restraining demon I wish to perturb. I don't understand where and why my stable connections to a calescent climate exist. I feel that my landlocked life has prohibited my spirit from flourishing. A wishful tropical patron is what I am, with uncontrollable and overwhelming feelings of cabin fever. But I still remain a hopeful coastal consumer. Although I'm closer to the equator than most that desire it, I long for it more. It is my utmost forward passion to live amongst the warmth and comforts that only equatorial places can deliver. Till then I will live and love vicariously through the songs of Jimmy Buffett and the memories that haunt me so wonderfully. The consistent and ear-ecstasy patterns of the ocean's land arrival is the soundtrack to my soul...
