As I am reading through the trail journals, I feel sometimes as if I am there with these strangers. I feel connected to their experience and want to know more about their journey. It makes me think that everyone has the ability to find themselves out there hiking. To find yourself, that is such a hard task, at least I think it is. When do you know? How do you know? Do we all just wake up one day and discover who we are or is there some specific experience we must go through in order to be sure?
Hiking can be so therapeutic. It is a way to escape from the constant pressures of life, from the normalcy of every day routine. But that's exactly what you have to do, you have to be okay with taking a break from the routine, which is difficult for some people. In order to fully get everything out of the experience, it seems like the authors of these journals had to accept a pause from their daily lives.
