Jamieszew723 - Pacific Crest Trail Journal - 2018

Preface to the Preface

In this journal, you will find alot of gear talk, possibly competitive talk, talk about being ultralight and things like this. These things just naturally go along with this kind of attempt.

Don't let that fool you. It's not about the gear or anything material, although chosing your gear thoughtfully will help make your walk more enjoyable and more safe potentially. All that stuff is just for fun.

However, this journey is about mentally and physically challenging myself so that I may fully live.

It's about growth, change, facing fears and overcoming them, surviving, thriving and it's about friendship. It's about learning to appreciate every day and learning to live in the moment. When you push yourself so hard and you are the only one getting you to the top, you are your only cheerleader, you gain confidence and knowledge of who you are and what you are really made of.

It's cliche but it's true: Life is so damn short and it's flying by. I just wanna do what makes me happy and hopefully my decisions will not harm others. If I can inspire one to live better, whatever their idea of better may be, I am even happier.

Follow if you wanna hear about this attempt of mine.

Thanks for reading. Hi family. Hi friends xoxo
