Lets get something straight. I am not depressed. I am not lost nor morbid. I have a decent job, making decent money. Great family and friends. A house, and a some what dependable vehicle. I am content with myself, who i am, and so far who i have become. I am Truly Happy
"Do i really want to leave all of this behind"
I am sure this is a question that i will ask myself counless times over the next year.
Maybe staring in awe of the mighty Appalachian Mountians intruiges me, feeling so insignificant in its presance. All of the Challanges flashing before my eyes. Knowing the physical and mental hardships that will plague me every single inch of this journey. The reason doesnt even matter. All that matters is i made a promise to myself. A commitment.... to finish what i start. To finish the Appalachian Trail.
I decided to break the news to a few close friends and family members first. To my astonishment the response was suprisingly positive. They Actually believe in me and my abilities. What a wonderful feeling. The next couple of months were full of "How's,What if's and No ways". Of course i enjoy talking about it. Answering questions and hearing the reactions only adds fuel to the fire.
Is it safe to say i am Obsessed?
