First Descents
I am so ridiculously excited for this coming week.
I leave tomorrow for Colorado. I get to start my week in the best way ever by visiting my favorite Miss Emily and hopefully seeing some of Denver and Colorado's highlights. Then I leave on Sunday for Vail, where I will rock climb, whitewater kayak, and chill with a whole bunch of fellow young adult cancer survivors. I'm so excited for every aspect. Like... I don't know which I would want to do first- bond with people over the camp fire, jump into the river, stare at CO's natural beauty, etc. But the emotional aspect of it seems like it is going to be the most overwhelming... in a good way. Every time I watch that YouTube video about it I tear up but feel good. Its weird to hear people say things that you have secretly felt but never thought to admit or even accept. Basically, its going to be amazing.
Thats not to say that I don't have my list of worries. What if my body isn't strong enough, what if I get too scared, what if I don't feel like I fit in with the other campers, what if I can't open up, what if what if what if. But I've never let "what if's" hold me back. So here I go!
