Choosing a Crowd
Lately, with both of my businesses, I have been seeing events here and there. With coffee, it’s the HCA. Competitions are held on the island and coffee professionals gather.
There has also been events with vintage collectors, thrift shoppers, and many more with aloha wear.
I see all of these on social media, yet I am not one to attend…
One business being a physical form of service and the other being online made it a challenge for me to mingle with those who work in a similar field as I do. I see my once a week part time job in Paradise Coffee Roasters as my school, so I love to be around those who know more than I do.
Right now as I get through the hurdle of earning capital to fuel my coffee business, I choose to stay in incognito and socialize with nature when I’m not working. Hide away where no form of service is needed. Brewing a pour over by the volcano & sharing some smiles with surfers in the ocean is a crowd that protects my peace and regains my sanity.
For now, I choose to be in that crowd.
