Hike More, Worry Less

Virginia is not only for Lovers, it's for hikers too... It was a real bummer living in Virginia for 11 months and only realizing on the 10th month that Virginia has some of the greatest hiking trails in the world. I've never really been a hiker. I remember going on my last hike in the fifth grade, and I remember how much it sucked. I kept complaining how tired I was, and I kept asking how far we still needed to go. I think back on that day while hiking now, and then I think about why I enjoy hiking so much now... It's the beauty. The beauty of the air that smells like nature, how the breeze feels different while walking between the trees, how the sky looks so much more blue, and how the sounds make my soul feel at home...
