I’m not exactly sure if I chose the mountains or if they chose me. I now find my greatest comfort in the outdoors; the mountains, lakes, summits, SNOW.. who would have thought?! On the outside I am the same.. but on the inside I am changing into this better version of myself. Everyday is a journey. Everyday I learn and grow as an individual and everyday there is some sort of struggle..
.
BUT everyday, I remind myself how lucky I am to be me and have these opportunities that many people will never get to experience. It’s hard to put it into words exactly how the mountains make me feel. It’s hard to explain the emotions, the feelings, the challenges. I tell everyone about my love for the mountains but it’s not easy to describe such a unique and wonderful feeling. They allow me to let go and live in the moment. They let me breathe and feel and forget about the stressors that consume everyday life. They allow me to push my limits and jump out of my comfort zone.
.
I am doing things that make me happy and for now that’s all that matters. Be you. Explore. Try new things. Take opportunities to grow.. Choose the mountains, or let the mountains choose you❤️”
