Revisiting my first ever backpacking route was a quiet win

Everything seemed bigger and scarier back then. This time, I had fun on the climb instead of just wanting it to be over.

Hold up, are we really getting deep about walking the same dirt path twice? It's just putting one foot in front of the other, but you're happier now. Is that a life lesson or did you just get better shoes?

It's wild how the same trail can feel totally different when you're not scared out of your mind.
