i fucking love goals. i live on goals and motivation i oftentimes feel like i am a train and i see the train inside my head and i have got somewhere to BE! currently, i have my life mapped out until october of 2027. i have a vague shortlist for the time after, but i will choose something off the list or otherwise dictated by myself in september or october of 2027, when i complete my thru-hike of the AT. i do not believe it would be fair to dictate to that person what they should do next...that person being me, but a me who thru-hiked the AT so thats kinda a different guy and i wanna show my respect to him. my emotional goals are to strengthen my relationship to peace, and to solidify my pride in myself and my ability to care for myself in ways that are frankly miraculous. until then, i am going to go on my Big South America Trip, and my goal with that is to relax and enjoy my surroundings and to be alone more than my current life allows, but in a way that is invigorating instead of isolating. in 2026, my plan is to get buff and also to be so laid back its awesome. i want to become a complete willpower machine, focusing on work, hobbies, my friends, and my hike. all with complete attention. okay this post completely breaks anon, but hopefully it answers the question for someone :3
