You see, when you're a homosexual, you sometimes go on trails like this in the middle of the night for seclusion. I haven't been on long trails though. Just short, hump trails. - the king, explaining his hiking experience

But mostly I realized that hiking is how I bond with people. I hardly ever go out on my own. Subconsciously, I may still fear my mother’s proverbial like stories about the little lady that went into the woods by herself. Long story short, the little lady had no survival skills and died… Although it is liberating to go out and find a path to walk on your own, I much rather prefer company:

Let say, life is not linear. Rather, it takes the shape of a spiral, moving either wildly or calm with momentum solely depending upon how fast we will it.

Most of the time really, my mind is whirling. I have to say thoughts out loud, put a little rhyme to it, put a little rhythm to it. When I feel wild, vocalizing tames me. And it is not about sounding good or singing well, it is about capturing your thoughts, slowing it down, making sense of it, and adding a melody to it. At the end of my mind’s song, I am still.

REASONS TO HIKE IN THE RAIN: 1.You will look hardcore- Whenever I see people working out in the rain, I always think to myself with slight envy turned admiration, "Ugggh...fierce."  2. Rain is good for the scalp- I heard this once. And although I can not prove it, I believe it.  3.Splashing in puddles is okay- Where else in the context of your adult life is playing in puddles socially acceptable?  4.You will feel clean-The rain constantly washes the sweat off your face, leaving you with a dewy afterglow. Whether or not you need a shower afterwards is totally debatable.

It is bewildering how some days solder themselves together creating a massive blob in memory. There was a time when I was so very confident I could remember every past day of my life.

May you find the happiness you have been feigning all along
