Reminiscing
So, I've spent the last short while watching videos Tory has taken from his trip on the AT. I gotta say, he's makin' me a little nostalgic for the days of Teen Adventure, and further back to CQC. Yeah, it's nice to think of the good times, the views from McAfee Knob and the wall of fog on Apple Orchard Mountain. It's making me want to go dig out the pack, load up, and hit the trail. Unfortunately I'm not so misty eyed that I remember the bad parts. It was hard to always be in the back and though I may not want to admit it, I'm just not a really strong hiker. There's just . . . I don't know, there's some really magical memories from back then, but a lot of bad ones too. I don't really like who I was, I feel like I made a ton more mistakes than I should have, and there's much I might change if I could. Except of course for knowing that those events each are a part of who I am today. I want to go back but I'm not sure I could make the trip. *sigh* I guess this all sounds kind of melodramatic doesn't it? I'm really not that sad I promise, it's more like wistful thinking. I need more outdoors, and less urban. I don't get nearly enough of that anymore. I'll have to think of ways to change that. Going to write Tory a letter maybe . . .
There's other stuff of course, good stuff and bad, but I've taken up enough text space for one post. Maybe another time, maybe tomorrow. For now, maybe I'll see if I can go do something outside.
