| Hiking trip:I don't think I want to do Whitney ever again. It's super boring because the trail is now expected. I know what's going to happen next and how long this part is or how grueling that portion of the trail will be. But the scenery is still nice?
But on this trip we went from the back of Whitney, approximately 50miles northeast starting from Onion Valley.
You can view the pictures here.
But yeah. It was a good trip.
The only thing that I can give You is the life You gave to me.
And I'm re-reading Catcher in the Rye.
Hate it if you must, but I am really liking the book again.

| Day one, strike two.Yet another restless night. I'm proud to say that I did not go to bed before 1am at all this week. The latest I stayed up was probably 3am, a feat that I haven't done in a long time. Sadly, I was still accustomed to waking up at the break of dawn.
Change is a part of life. The more you try to evade it, the faster it finds you. You just have to give in. Sorry Holden Caufield.
This monkey on my back is weighing me down. It's like a heavy rope tied around my neck forcing me to crawl. But, quote Anthony Kiedis, "I’ll make it to the moon if I have to crawl." By myself if necessary.
But we'll see. Time will tell it's tale. And one day all of the mysteries that is God will be revealed.
I kind of really want a tattoo. Of what and where? No clue.
No flowers on my face, never again.

| I know who I want to be.And I sort of know how to get there.
Did you know that my recent Myers Brigg test indicated that I was more of an introvert now? Kind of odd and scary.
I'm sorry. I will never understand.

| Still processing...I'm heading back to the wilderness on Sunday. This time I will go with people and for just about the same number of days/nights.
Doing it solo last time made me realize two things:
- I hate being alone.
- I can cope with being alone.
What does that translate to? Well, I thrive off of the energy of others. When William picked me up from Union Station I couldn't stop smiling because I was so overjoyed to see someone and talk to someone that I know. Climbing Half Dome by myself was grueling. There was nobody to keep me motivated to go on. It was so easy for me to quit if I wanted to. I took a lot of breaks because nobody but me cared. I didn't have to push myself, but I did, and I made it to the top, eventually. When I made a few friends along the way, the journey seemed easier. Conversations would pass time and the pace was a lot quicker.
Company makes it easier.
For the longest time I believed that I can only accomplish something grand when I have the assistance of other people. I needed their energy, I needed their company, I needed their support. But my solo trek into the wilderness proved to me that I can do it on my own as well. It might take a little longer and it might be more difficult. It's definitely not my preference, but it's entirely manageable. With only God's strength reinforcing mine, I can still do it. I don't need a partner to reach my goal, it'd just be nice to have one.
