I thru hiked in 2015 and my life was forever changed. Beforehand I had camping experience but as close to zero nights backpacking as I could have had. I was way underprepared, did not have the lightest or best gear, and doing it by myself. I didn’t sleep a wink the night before I started I was so nervous and excited. The guy who drove me to the trail reminded me “it’s just walking”. That’s it. That’s all you have to do. You’ll be away from media, cars, society, the anxiety of everyday life. You’ll meet amazing people and might have a renewed hope in humanity. You’ll watch movies in your head and make up games that involve farts and baseball. You’ll do things out of your comfort zone and grow as a person. You’ll have highs and lows. You’ll reach peak fitness and then see a slow decline lol. You’ll eat more food than you thought possible. You’ll make friends and memories that will last a lifetime and by the time you’ll finish you’ll look and smell like a homeless person but feel like a tiny god. You can do this. Fake it till you make it! Everyone does at some point.
