One of my passions is long-distance hiking. Made a decision a few years ago to #adult more and moved to a place, got a job. I have a fair amount of flexibility but can't take off months at a time to hike anymore. Also met a dood that I married- he has always been super supportive of the hiking!
In 2019 I had 2 weeks and got 70% of a trail done. I had hoped to finish it in 2020, but yeah, covid. 2021 was similar, more freedom but I used my time off with my husband and for wedding planning.
2022 was the year maybe? My plan was to do this other trail first to get acclimated bc I'm not in total shape and where I had to start gets above 13k pretty quickly, tho goes down. I went to do that trail but when I landed on the plane they sent my backpack to the other side of the country, my trip got delayed. I completed the first hike in full -yay!- but then the next section of 2019 trail I couldn't do, there just wasn't enough time. I decided to just take my time on the 1st one.
At this point my schedule got bonkers and there is only one real stretch of days to try (and I won't finish the whole hike, but it would make the last section I do a lot easier logistically, and altitude/fitness-wise).
I asked Yi about it since I've now gotten calls to work that weekend and received 53.1 ->37
Soooo on the one hand, feeling that it's saying to be patient and I'll reach my goal when the time is right.
1st line maybe saying if I do this there could be criticism tho no one is to blame? I can identify with being the wacky wild goose trying to figure out how to cross from this lake I'm in allllll the way to my goal in the mountains which is also, something really important to me and my self-identity. I keep having to change the arrangements around work stuff that's been popping up.
On the other hand, there are LITERAL HIGH MOUNTAINS and LITERAL MARRIAGE in the image! I've been married less than a year and while my husband is encouraging of my hiking and music making I also feel guilty about not spending enough time with him. We have a little bit different ways of approaching this and also both of our job situations have changed slightly lately, we are both working a lot more. We will have a big vacation together next month but still it's in my mind and something he has complained about in general (not having enough time/same schedules- but not really much that can be done about that right now where we are at in our careers. On the other hand he was like, did you figure out your schedule to finish that hike? I know it's important to you.)
