yesss I did speak on that! :) I almost lost my life because I had too much mucus in my lungs, although hiking in itself didn’t fix it! I was in the ICU for 1 month. the moment I arrived to the hospital all the social workers and nurses came to tell my parents to mentally prepare cause it wasn’t looking too good but I survived lolol

I more so speak about how hiking allows me to push past the mental limitations regarding what my body is capable of doing. Like I used to almost pass out when I would run a single lap around the school gymnasium, or even walking up a hill because of how weak my lungs were

But I do agree with that, I used to smoke regularly for years but quit cold turkey in 2023 when I realized how much I love climbing mountains and in order to do all of that I needed to take better care of my body. That and a mix of realizing that I just don’t want to smoke anymore. (nothing against those who smoke btw I’m only speaking for myself)
