2023 was not a year I spent fiddling around with Instagram and Tiktok trends and hours on end studying what was hot. No. 2023 was spent grinding out every second of my time and every effort in my days, even if it often wrecked my well being. Even got nailed by covid for the first time for it. I would change a damn thing.
One Ocean, One People 🌊
While this voyage in 2023 of course is ongoing and because as a creator, it will “never seem like it’s enough”. But truth be told, I did it! I succeeded in that initial intention when the clock turned 12:00 into 2023. To really put myself out there setting the path for what the next year is built for!
This could have never been done without the many along this journey, that entrusted their time with me, passing me onto resources, or simply providing time and resources when I needed it. A kakou effort!
I left Hawai’i knowing I’d be ready for what kanaka maoli equipped me to voyage onward. And as much as it hurt to leave, Hawai’i still remains with me. And that’s a power I now carry on to those I meet as this voyage continues!
Cheers to a challenging, but incredible 2023
Happy 2024 Voyagers 🙂
