Be your own work of art.

Cabin in the woods, to myself, nearby an active volcano. Off the grid.

Aloha ʻāina.

“Change of scenery” and it’s literally Jurassic Park.

Solo trip after a family trip to decompress.

@mayselreem_ Plenty of senior corporate executives retire for this. I’ll even adopt a cowardly dog named Courage. What could possibly go wrong?

Would leaving everything behind to start over as a farmer in the middle of nowhere be such a bad idea after all?

Starry nights. Bonfire conversations. Half blood moon. Coyotes howling in the distance.

Family.

— “Take a moment to look at what you did. You brought us all together. Everybody is happy.” — Wajib.

Fourteen hour flight for a surprise. Jet lag is for the weak.

الحمدلله.

Honor and family and loyalty.

The sun which never sets; the son who never rests.

Not for everybody. Not just anybody.

Quiet passions.
