Goodbyes Are A Bitch

An excerpt from my journal:

This whole process has been so overwhelming. When I first decided to do the AT, I was so angry at the world. All I wanted to do was leave. Now that the time has finally come, my heart aches to stay.

I don’t think anything worth doing is easy. I’m going to Georgia, and I am going to start the Appalachia Trail. It feels good to go and no longer be running away. Instead, I’m walking toward a goal. Toward Katahdin.

Goodbyes are a bitch. But how great is it that I have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. I feel so loved by my family. By my friends. I am so lucky.

Cheers to the next chapter and being so scared out of your mind but doing it anyway.

Trail updates to come,

Florencia
