What a beautiful place. Really fell in love! Unsure if we will explore this love more, but my, wow. Every fibre in my body just came out screaming in love. They also had a lovely little airport there, gliders above us as they launched, and I bought a new Hawaiian shirt there. I don't have pictures. It's just a feeling. Everything felt fantastic. Even the "commercial" hotel — they had a nice little gym there that I used and the restaurant was nice — I got a burger with nice beef. Good enough for me. We arrived in the evening so it was quiet. The morning was also quiet as we left.
Family time is precious. I want to do more like this, even if a pre-teenager is a handful (who does everything against you).
Before we left, I set up my machine so I can remote into it from my phone. I don't have a laptop and thought this might be a bit of a sore spot in general. I don't really like keeping my customers hanging. Thankfully it all worked well, even a minor few things. I just used my phone to work on a few minor things and features. What a great feeling to be free from having to sit at the computer. I think I spent a few hours just on a few fixes here and there — which I think is good, because I just like doing this kind of stuff whilst the ladies are busy doing their lady things.
Whilst holidays are great, and that having kids are "trying", it's always great perspective what life is about.
Recently the weird part of the internet (or whatever you call that side these days) again blew up because of a person I'll call "Alfrid" — that's how'll associate these people (if you know The Hobbit, you know).
This holiday really brought it into perspective for me. These people have zero matter in my life anymore. I am so thankful. Maybe 3 years ago this meant something to me, but not anymore. It has zero effect. So, thank you Alfrid.
Being online, in a sense, is not life — it is not defining. You are what you are to your family and people closest to you. There is no sense in to appeasing 99.999988% of the planet. Never.
I'm really happy with everything that has happened over the past years. You have no idea. I find comfort in it, and humanity.
I'm doing good, life is fantastic now. Thank you all that support me through my projects — that's the 0.000000012% (even if it feels small, it's not). And my family, who have stuck with me all these years since I've been born. They know me best. They support me through everything. Family is what matters the most, even if sometimes things are weird.
I hope to do more holidays soon, even with school starting again for the kiddo soon.
With holidays I love to always think about where I am and where I'm going. I'm doing a lot of offline things that are just for me — my wife approves. That's all that matters.
I'm doing good. Life is good.
Peace and love.
✌️❤️
