DIARY ENTRY #6

Date: October 21

Days gone: 2

This is so freaking awesome!! As soon as I woke up I decided today was a hiking day. The sun is shining and there’s a nice gentle breeze. I leave my suitcase and backpack where they are and clamour up unto the rocks. Surprisingly, the mountain is mostly rock and barely overgrown. I’ve got a water bottle with me and I plan to go all the way to the top… probably.

I start walking and immediately start breathing hard. This incline is STEEP. Like I’m not trying to walk into the sky, why is this mountain practically VERTICAL!? But I’m gonna climb it anyway just to say I did.

*2 hours lager*

I MADE IT TO THE TOP!! It took slightly longer than expected, but here I am, on top of a small mountain. Who knew running away could be this exciting?

The view is gorgeous and I’ve been laying on this wide rock for a while, just taking it in. As I write this, the water bottle is half empty and I’m hungry and hot and sweaty, so I’m gonna head back down and maybe even go for a swim in the river.

Praying I don’t slide all the way down.

Peace and love,

Nala
