Today I went hiking with a group I found on meetup. It is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while, but never had the courage to do.
I met the group at the designated place, walked a forest path mosaiced with autumn leaves, saw the ruins of settlers who conquered the terrain years ago, struggled to keep up with the group, though about giving up more than once, wrestled with my demons of the week (anger and uncertainty over my business & business partners), saw some great sights, laughed for a change, felt the sun on my skin, got blisters the size of apples on my feet, met some new people… And kept going.
I finished the hike with the group and got a handshake from the instructor who acknowledged my accomplishment for completing the hike.
Turns out that ‘easy’ means easy for intermediates, not beginners like me. But I finished it anyway. Yay me and well done.
Perhaps life and entrepreneurship is sometimes like those steps on that mountain. If you think too much about the whole journey it’s easy to give up or never try, but if you focus on just taking one step at a time…. you just might make it… One step at a time.
I've got borderline personality disorder. I'm divorced. I'm in my early thirties. I'm really confused.
I'm in a relationship. I'm an entrepreneur. I'm honest. I like to think I'm a good person. I'm definitely an empathic person. I'm a caring person. I try to make the world a better place.
I experience extreme highs and extreme lows. I have difficulty processing emotions. I have difficulty maintaining relationships. I've got an extreme fear of abandonment. I'm still learning how to be a better me.
I have low self-esteem. You'll have to look very far to find a more loving person than me. I love deeply and fiercely.
I love dogs. I love dancing, writing, poetry. Occasionally my posts include poetry. Most of the time it's just me talking to you.
It helps me process things. It helps me remember things. It helps me create a sort of constant reminder of who I am.
I'm grateful to those of you who read my posts and leave a helpful comment. I try to include helpful links to resources and stuff, when I can.
This platform means the world to me. I've met some really wise, amazing and supportive people. Thank you for giving me a space where I can literally just be me - no holds barred.
