Lies (Poem Circa 2010)

For all the lies
and through all the tears,
I attempted to tread in open waters
hoping to find
the answer
that I was so adamant
to discover.

I thought, achieving
a goal
set out against me
since the beginning
would make me feel,
fulfilled
and no longer empty inside.

But, life had another plan,
and every success
comes at a price
No one is safe
from the insatiable hunger
of the future.
And it probably didn't turn out as planned.

Why Am I Hiking the PCT?

Image
Question of the hour: Why the PCT? What in the world would possess me to want to hike 2600 miles across 3 states??? Let me start by saying this has been on my bucket list for a long time. Yes, I have read Wild and yes I've seen the movie. Is that why I'm hiking? No . Did I think the book and movie adaption were inspiring? Yes. But that is not why I am hiking. The first reason I'm hiking is simple.... because I want to. Like I said before, it has been on my bucket list. As a perk, thru-hiking is bad-ass. Thru-hiking is challenging, not only physically but mentally. It gives you a lot of time to think. When I say a lot of time, the PCT will give me around 4 or 5 months of time to think. To think about what you may ask? Everything . I've always been a planner. I like to know what I will be doing, and exactly how I will accomplish that. Now you may think that this wouldn't be conducive to thru-hiking, but I have found that it really is. The amount of planni...

I can tell that you want to get out of here, disappear

Maybe you think that no one will notice if you quietly slip out the front door  You've done it before. Made an excuse Only to make it back home To your beckoning bed  to your safe place where there is no judgement  no anxiety  no stress how could I blame you  but then I find myself alone in the room once again  facing fears by myself  and you are nowhere to be seen but the difference is I need you do you need me?

You're Not Alone

Image
In this big world, it can seem at times that our lives are insignificant. It can feel lonely. It can feel suffocating. It can seem like the whole world is against you. We can lose people we love. We can lose people that only made a short appearance in our lives. But just because they're gone, doesn't mean that we need to go with them. Let me tell you this: It's going to be okay. No matter what you're dealing with, it's going to be okay. It may not be okay at first, it may take a really long time. But, just know that you're not alone. You're never alone. If you ever need to talk, there will always be someone who will listen. Find that person, and make sure that you keep them close. We all go through hard times, and difficult situations. But I can guarantee you, that your life is worth living. I'm no expert and honestly have no right to be telling other people that it is going to be okay, but I just know deep down in my heart that everything is...
