Hey guys,

Need a little advice. How do you guys prepare mentally for a LD hike.

I am doing a semi flip-flop over two years with more miles this year than next. My issue for this hike seems to be money, college, and life related. There is the hiker, free bird part of me that is needing to get away. This summer has been tough with a lot of death, chaos, and problems. I need this hike to help me mentally heal.

Another part of me, the money person, is trying to justify the time off, money spent, etc when I could be starting college again, moving on with life, working on a future, etc.

I am sure I would probably run into the same issues I had with getting my first degree. I have no idea what I want to do, and will probably go in circles trying to figure it out.

Another feeling that nags at me is the feeling of not getting younger, I am 26. I can't help but feel that I should have a Bach in college already, a full time job, etc etc.

Its bull crap. -_- My mind needs to make up its damn mind.

Ether way; I spent too much prepping to not go on this hike. I just need a mental boost?
