2.27.25: I Hate Hiking

I don’t like hiking—never have, probably never will. I just don’t see the point. You go up, you come down, and it’s over in a day. If I’m hiking, there better be camping involved. Sleeping under the stars, a fire, the whole experience—that makes it worthwhile. But just up and down in a single day? No thanks, really. It feels pointless, like all that effort leads to nothing lasting. I’d rather spend my energy on something that sticks, something with a story at the end. Day hikes? They’re just not for me, and I doubt that’ll ever change.
