I've been sitting here on this cold morning asking myself why do I want to hike the AT.
Is it to get back to nature- No I could do that camping nearby,
To get in shape- No I could go to the gym,
Is it to get away from it all- No once again I could go camping,
To find myself- shoot I'm not even sure what that means besides I could just travel for that,
meet new people -no I could do that anywhere
put all of it together and it only adds to the real reason.
I'm going to be forty this year and when I look back on my life, the dreams I had as a child of being and doing something great has faded. No sports hero, astronaut or what ever...
My life has become stagnate, working a job I don't enjoy, watching TV an getting fatter in a city I've come to hate ( yes I know that's a strong word).
I guess the main reason is to change the direction my life is going and to accomplish something that in the end maybe meaningless but it's a goal that I could be proud of. Many try but not everyone can do it. Who knows maybe I'll find myself
