A Smoke Signal From The Void
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to break the silence, clear the fog, and send out a smoke signal from the depths of the unknown. ???
For those of you who've wondered why I've been MIA, I owe you an explanation and a heartfelt apology. Life has thrown me multiple curveballs and lemons – personal emergencies and a battle to simply survive have been the unwelcome guests in my realm. ???
But let me be perfectly clear, my love for our community remains unshaken, and I've missed it more than words can convey. ??
As the founder of Pineapple EMPIRE, where innovation reigns supreme, I know how important it is to keep the fire burning. I've had to reluctantly step back to take care of pressing matters, but the spirit of our empire continues to pulse within me. ?
With the indomitable spirit of Self-Determination, I'm determined to turn things around. The wait for Season 3 of the Top 100 in Aviation/Aerospace has been longer than anticipated, and while I had hoped for a 2023 release, realism forces me to adjust our sights to 2024. It's a delay we never wanted but a necessity we couldn't ignore. ??
In my absence, my thirst for greatness hasn't waned. The quest to ascend and expand our empire onwards and upwards remains steadfast. ??
I can't wait to rejoin our community, to share in the innovation, and to continue building the future together. The realm of Pineapple EMPIRE will once again be vibrant, electrifying, and filled with possibilities. ??
So, here's to our future endeavors, to resilience, and to the unyielding spirit that binds us together. Stay tuned, my friends; the best is yet to come. ??
With a humble heart, I thank you for your unwavering support. ??
Let's make 2024 the year of transformation and innovation. ??
Yours in Aloha spirit,
-Matthew Higa
P.S. Please don't be offended if you see me posting on Instagram. Sometimes it's the easiest least path of resistance for me to keep in touch with anyone, particularly friends and family. I just have little to no spoons left and I'm trying to bring this bird down to a safe landing so that we can refuel and get back up in the air.

11 个月The update and your openness are much appreciated. However, do take all the headspace and breathing time that you need. My life has been greatly affected by mental illnesses in my family and I'm just deeply grateful for everyone who prioritizes their mental health, takes a step back when needed, and trusts humanity enough to know that their community will be there whenever they are ready to return. Reaching higher includes fully accepting our human struggles and not ignoring the realities of life at the expense of our life's energy.
