Holy. Shit. Did I ever need today! I have come to discover that I HAVE to have a day to myself at least twice a month, lest I go psycho. I got the chance to head north for a day of hanging out and climbing with my best friend and it has made a world of difference in my head. I absolutely have to get days away from the farm to be able to deal with daily life. It acts as a balance for my emotions and my energy. Today was a wake up call for me and I had damn well better listen this time. I need to remember to think about and protect my own mental health. That requires me going into the forest for a day or more. I don't need anyone, I need a reset.
This is our new route we put an anchor on today. Fucking SICK route and hard beyond my current abilities. I can't wait to get back and work on it some more.
