Before this trip, I don't believe I ever knew what it was to deserve something. I feel closer to the person I want to be... The climb from the city of Collonges to the University is the most intense experience I've ever had, and the whole way up I hated it. I hated myself for being out of shape, I hated the hill, I was an all around unhappy camper. But reaching that summit, feeling the breeze and sitting down, and realizing that I really could do more? It's making me cry just writing about it. It felt so right. It felt like me. I am capable of mountains, and for my whole life I've been settling for level ground. And that breeze... I've never enjoyed anything so much. I can't even express it. I can't tell you. My heart is bursting... I know that by the time I return, I'll be able to climb mountains. I'll know a little more of what I am capable of.
Today I met myself... and I actually liked me.
