Unknown.

We all find ourselves facing it all the time. We may run from it, chase it, or embrace it. I find it interesting that a concept can be both exciting and terrifying at the same time. Perhaps how we react to the unknown is really what makes us who we are. Perhaps the unknown is already predetermined, and we have an illusion of control over outcomes. Perhaps I’m just talking out of my ass because I don’t know how to start this blog.

A couple weeks from now, I’ll be starting the AT. One part of me feels that this is just the right time and place in my life to do something like this and another part of me is saying “What the fuck are you doing man?”. That is alright though. The duality is pretty cool and I’m looking forward to both the good and bad.

This blog is an unknown. I am not sure about the type of content I’ll post. I am not sure how often I’ll post. I am not sure what I’ll share and where I find inspiration. All I know is that I want some sort of outlet to the world. I want to make something that keeps people updated, but is also interesting. Maybe something neat for me to look back on when this adventure is all over. One day I might just post cool pictures, and the next day might be text about a certain philosophical intrigue. Either way, I am setting no expectations for this blog just like I’m not setting expectations for the AT.

Feel free to share this blog with anyone. My intended audience is for everyone, no one, and myself. And if you are reading this, thank you. I am looking forward to sharing whatever inspires me on the trail.
