Children's jumper. 1970s.

Atomic age, space race themes.

I framed our backcountry camping permit. I am still beaming from this trip. I am so proud of myself. Like 3k of gain?! Do you know how bananas that is?! With 30 POUNDS on your back?! FOR MY FIRST BACKPACKING TRIP?!?!

Anyway, I was at Lory yesterday with my roommates to go swimming and I looked at the saddle where we camped and was awestruck that I hiked all that way in one day.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve gotten older or because of my anti anxiety medication (maybe both) but the mental strength I have now to keep pushing when things get uncomfortable is insane. There were parts on the trip where I was so incredibly intimidated (looking up at Arthur’s Rock and seeing how much further we had to go rattled me to my bones) but I pushed forward. I faced that goddamn flinch.

you are good even when you need to rely on others’ help.

you are good even when you are depressed.

you are good even when you are hurt.

you are good even when you are scared.

you are good even when you are overwhelmed.

you are good even when you are not tidy.

you are good even when you are confused.

you are good even when you have difficulty performing tasks.

you are good even when you feel like you’ll never measure up to being an adult.
