What better to cap off the year with, than one of the best sunsets I've ever watched/shot. Shot this one sitting by myself (with sore ribs) in an isolated little cove on a beach in Sayulita Mexico. To some, it doesn't get much better than this injured or not. It might sound ungrateful, but I was really not stoked on having to take it easy on my vacation that was supposed to have me surfing and adventuring full force. I rely on constant activity/competition and that most often than not requires a healthy body.
One thing I've been working on this past year is to just embrace the situation. There is a staggering amount of things to be thankful of if you find yourself in a place like this at peace, relatively safe ;) and surrounded by God's creation.
Over the next year when things seem to have taken a dip, consider how many things are still going right. I'm just getting over this rib stuff and it felt like I missed out on the last month of the year sports wise, but it also gave me some time to slow down and rethink what 2024 is going to look like.
I haven't been as active on here this past maybe 6 months and not much has changed. Yes, Instagram punished me for not posting consistently in terms of engagement (but I see its been punishing almost everyone). I do see a few of you popping off and am stoked to see your passions and effort paying off! At the moment I've got some higher priorities training wise and its a lot more enjoyable to get content out as a break instead of on a rigid schedule. We'll see how much posting I end up doing, but now that I'm healthy, you know I'm gonna be going 100% sports wise.
I got "At World's End" vibes while I was editing this sunset, so here's one of my favorite Pirates of the Caribbean quotes: “I’m dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly, it’s the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they’re going to do something incredibly stupid.” -Jack Sparrow
