Living a life I aim to live forever

Kona, Hawaii. The current home base. After 7 months of living on the island, having to transfer to another farm, establishing a healthy routine, I can say that I would absolutely love to live this way. This is the healthiest I've lived in my entire life! The farm I live at is abundant with fruit trees, such as avocados, papayas, oranges, seasonal fruits, bananas, edible flowers, and many more. Maria, my farm manager / housemate has free range chickens that give eggs too, so we never have to buy! I work 8 hour shifts, 5 days a week doing labor intensive work in a coffee farm, and on my 2 days off, I do long runs. I see my running as training for work, and work as training to build strength and endurance. In terms of growth, I found the mentor  in coffee farming that justifies my reason for moving here! 

I love it because I don't even have to try so hard. I got everything I need. It's like this life is just where the shoe fits. I have goals that I want to achieve, but this current feeling makes me think, "How could I ask for more?". 

I don't live beyond my means. I had to adjust things I'll willingly spend on. The minimalist approach in life has definitely helped. Focusing on things that only really matter. I maximize my resources too. This is good. I'm having a better understanding of sustainability by living my life around it.
