As we all know, life gets hard and busy. At this point in the semester the school work is piling on and school doesn’t stop. In addition to this, my personal and family life is happening in the background. Unfortunately, events that have been happening in the background have needed my attention and I haven’t had the time to climb, do school, or go to work. My family always comes first and they needed me up island, so that is where I went.

Now what does this mean for climbing? It means I am going to feel weak and rusty when I go back, and that is okay. Taking a break or a step back although feels bad, is never a bad thing. It is okay for other things to take priority in my life. With this in mind, if I were to push through and over work and burn myself out, I probably would perform well in my climbing anyways.

With all of that being said and done, I am so ready to get back to climbing. I have plans to go back to Stellys with a highschool friend of mine and tackle the big wall! My goal is to not be hard on myself if I am not where I was when I was in highschool. It is definitely going to be weird but it is going to be fun!

This is the mood for right now:
