I don't think I would be able to put into words how amazing it makes me feel. How right it feels.
I don't think I could ever sit there and speak words that would make you understand why I want to hike, why I want to fish, why I want to stand on top of that mountain, or why I just want to be outdoors.
Why even just the very sight of mountain peaks at times make me want to cry.
Have you ever had something or someone in your life that just makes you feel so alive? That reminds you how lucky you are to live the life that you live because you get to experience the things that you are experiencing?
Ever since I was a young girl and took roadtrips with my family to Christina Lake. Those mountains stuck with me. My family always loved camping and had a huge appreciation for the outdoors. Most of my memories as a kid involve tents and lakes and mountains.
My uncles hunt and fish all the time and my grandpa was what you would call a 'Mountain man.'
It's just always been there for me. Always felt like home to me.
A sense of comfort and familiarity overwhelms me.
One of the things I love about it, is that I do it for me. Not for anyone else. I don't have anything to prove to anyone. I am in competition with no one. This is for me. And just me. It's not a hobby. It's what I've always loved and always wanted to do. And I think that knowing this, shows me that I'm doing it for all the right reasons. No questions asked.
"I am degenerating into a machine for making money" - Such a powerful line.
