Thank you

Three years ago, I started my thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. The trail will always hold a special place in my heart. While reminiscing, I still get emotional, left in astonishment that actually did happen. It was the type of experience I don’t think I will ever be able to fully explain. My go-to for a while was that it has its ups and downs, figuratively and literally. I had some of my most strenuous and best days of my life on trail.

This said, I am so very thankful to the community, my family, and friends who supported me through this journey. ❤ I will never forget the generosity (The kind that really makes you reflect), refreshing (!!!), open-minded, supportive, charismatic, inspiring, insanely awesome people I’ve cross paths with. To all who I have met on and off trail, thank you for being. 🙂

While the majority of this post is recycled from my previous yearly posts, everything without doubt, still holds true. 😁

Edit (3.14.24): I can’t envision a future where I actively pursue completing the AT blog. While I successfully completed the trail itself, the prospect of investing the same level of dedication into finishing the blog feels daunting. Additionally, I’m uncertain about how to redirect those posts away from appearing in my main stream of blog content.
