Do you have something you dream to achieve or become?
What steps have you taken towards that goal? Have you done something today? last week? last month?
what is something that would help make a big step towards that thing for you? (aside from a lot of money cause i feel that is pretty standard)
What is something small that you can do in this moment that will take you that much further? feel free to share it if you want to ^_^
I'm curious as to what people are trying to bring into their own lives! and may you all have a wonderful day/night <3

I am currently on a journey to regain my ability to run, and hike. I have taken many steps, and there are many more before me. I have completed the physical therapy stage. I am doing my home exercise plan faithfully. I can now walk half a mile before my foot goes numb, and I can carry up to 30 pounds without pain, though I have to be careful how long.
I dream of hiking the Appalachian Trail end to end and earning the patch.

I learned some more roping skills recently. Using ascenders and then bypassing a knot on descent and things like that. I'd like to do some technical alpine stuff one day.

>>1198843That's a wonderful goal, and it sounds like you've already done so much to get where you are, but I'm excited that you aren't stopping, keep it up!
And when you do finally get to the Appalachian trail, I wanna see pictures!
>>1198849Ooh that sounds cool! I've never learned roping myself, but it seems intense! What got you into roping?

>>1198851The usual pipeline of bouldering then climbing, then trad, then roping, then snowboarding, then Backcountry boarding. I see why now it's so hard to get into. There's so much to master and so much gear to buy. You can't just learn the minimum. You gotta learn all the self rescue and rescue skills and all the skills for when things go wrong too.
But id love to one day do some big wall or big mountain alpine adventure.
I have a few friends now with all the skills. It'd be insane to do a multi day Backcountry alpine. Imagine mixing climbing, roping and boarding all into one.

>>1198852yeah, sounds like you really have to commit to it, with no half assing or toe dipping. much props to the dedication for it! and a multi day backcountry alpine trip would be wild!
i've seen photos of people sleeping on the faces of cliffs in those hanging bags, and i know i wouldn't be able to sleep a wink with that ><
thank you for sharing this with me ^_^

>>1198851Oh there'll be pictures. I'm certain I won't be able to resist updating you all at every town.
I'll make this decision later, but the trail actually passes right through my town, and I've considered making that my starting and ending point. I figure travel to the bookends is easier than travel in the middle, so I'll just plan one flight from Georgia to Maine for the summer and hike it on home. Plus I'll have the experience for the hundred mile wilderness by the time I get there.

>>1198873It is intentional. No matter what I do I am the black sheep here. Fine. I'm a piece of shit and I probably deserve to die. If that's the case I'll dedicate my life to make everyone else's horrific as long as I live.
And I am strong. I've met many people from ponychan and the other pony boards in real life. They can all vouch that I am fucking strong physically.

>>1198875They say if you hear something loud enough, long enough, and often enough, you begin to believe it. There are certainly things you've done that give others reason to dislike you, but I encourage you not to believe the lies they tell in anger. The simple fact that you want to be better means that you're not a shit person. You can become something great, and you can outlive your past, if you choose to. I believe in you.

I'm struggling with too much existential dread to even imagine a goal of any sort. With everything so hyper-uncertain, it's really hard to imagining spreading my resources thin only for all the effort to be fuitless and leave me with less than I started and that much closer to disaster.

>>1198887Yeah, I haven't felt I had much choice in my goals for a while now.
It's really shit and I feel like all I can do is just scream in frustration and rage and fear that I'll never really have any control over my life anymore. I'm overwhelmed with violent revenge fantasies targeted at everyone who's made this reality come to be.

>>1198900well, if you pardon my pollyanna nature, but i'm reminded of a quote by uncle iroh
"You must never givve in to despair.
Allow yourself to slip down that road, and you surrender to your lowest instincts.
In the darkest times,
Hope is something you give yourself.
That is the meaning of inner strength."
i understand the lack of optimism, i get that, and sometimes the idea seems laughable. but there is always a place to hope, and it's like a little light to help you go through the darkness ^_^
and i cannot speak for you, but i can speak for myself; i plan on not only living, but thriving, and you are more than welcome to join me in my circle of light :)

>>1198863Not really sure what tree webbing is.
By roping I mean ascending/descending ropes with and without mechanical aids (e.g mechanical ascenders and figure 8 devices vs prusiks) and associated skills like making anchors, improvised harness, using caving ladders and fast roping.
Climbing usually means you're climbing rocks or ice and the rope is there as a belay. Has all its own skills like belaying from the top and bottom, placing nuts and cams and cleaning gear from routes.

>>1198924Well I guess it's not really called tree webbing. That's just what I call it. It's more commonly called tree netting, and it's where you take some rope (a lot of rope) and you build what basically looks like a human made spider web. In a tree. And it looks really cool.
And I'm terrible with embeds so here's a link
