So here it goes…
I’ve been sitting on this for months. I’ve tweaked and edited, trashed, rebuilt, and nearly drove myself mad with anxiety. It’s taken me until now to realize that this project will never truly be finished, I’ll never reach “perfection”, and I’ll just keep finding new excuses why I shouldn’t launch this thing. So I’m doing it now, unprepared, nervous, and having not a clue in the world what I’m doing. And that’s OK.
I’m putting this together out of a desire to help people, create a community, and hopefully make a positive change in someone’s life. So building this plane while in the air flying is fitting, you need to see my vulnerabilities and imperfections. Know that with this, most things, all things, at some point I had absolutely know clue what I was doing or stepping in to. Just like some of you may be standing on a subway platform right now scrolling though your Instagram feed and seeing pictures of people on a mountain top wondering how did they get there, where do I take those first steps? We all need a starting point in our journey. You all get to see mine with this.
My mission in this blog and community is to cultivate knowledge, advice, and stories to share with anyone who is trying to find balance with their life in the metropolis and love or curiosity for the outdoors. I hope that I can provide some commentary along the way, share with you my opinions of this outdoor culture and encourage you to share yours. I’ll be adding pieces and building this thing as best as I can, so hang tight!
