totally with you on that! in my experience, people on trails have always been super kind though. it’s important to take safety precautions and tell someone where you’re going and what time you should be back, but don’t let the fear hold you back from doing what you want! it gets easier with time 💗🫶🏻

@@danclay8229 joy, fulfillment, happiness 😂

@@GenevieveMason I am sincerely glad to hear you say that. I will just have to take your word for it though.

I’ve totally been there too don’t worry! I don’t have OCD but I’ve always struggled with bad anxiety and PMDD, so I know how much of an impact mental health has. I think if getting out more is something you want to do, small steps is what worked for me! little trips to the bookstore or garden centres (whatever you like of course!) and once I felt more comfortable, short hikes and trips to lakes felt more doable 🫶🏻

@@GenevieveMason I mean I’m not like a weirdo or smthn, I’m just introverted so I simply prefer staying at home😂 And about the OCD, I’m used to it, doing lots of meditation and I kinda live with it peacefully while using it to my advantage when possible, it provides many perks, but it has its downsides when can be a pain lol I only go out sometimes, when I feel like I can, because when I’m going on holidays and such I then feel unrest and anxiety for wasting my time not being productive😅 gotta get that bag to get that confidence to lay down or travel, even though you might’ve just gave me the right motivation to start doing some other trips to the outside world other than running and work lol

You are lucky, or have planned your trips carefully. Solo traveling for women, and men in some cases, is incredibly dangerous in much of the world.

wow!! that’s so amazing!! I 1000% want to do that too. I feel like everyone that’s done solo travel has said it’s been the best experience.

@@__just_sendit286 that’s kinda sweet! haha but I’m not looking for one yet. too much to do first.

@@GenevieveMason O haha you think it that’s the way it works. Sounds like he’s already on his way. Like they all say when you’re not looking that’s when love comes and finds you. I’ll check back on your channel and I’ll bet in 6-7 months your man is going to find you. IDE put money on it!

@@__just_sendit286 hey I’d happily be wrong if it was the right guy! haha

@@Stefan-zt6lq golden ears provincial park in BC!

@@nicolacornolti I think some of the best memories are had with other people for sure! but you can also absolutely find happiness by yourself. it’s very dependent on what phase of life you’re in, and if you have people around you in the first place. my closest friends live in other countries. I’m still going to find my own happiness :)

@@GenevieveMason I’m so happy for you and I’m very fond of memories I built by myself, but I often miss hangin out with people, I’m also very fortunate to have finally found a group of friends to hang out with for these kind of things, and I’m happier every time I get to share an adventure (also I just wanted to cite Christopher McCandles)

@@Simple5.0 I’ve met lovely people on trails! I’d totally be down to meet someone hiking if the vibe is right. haven’t see many people my age out there though!

@@user-ww9lo1rc2t it’s actually Golden Ears park in British Columbia, Canada! Yosemite is 1000% on my bucket list though 🫶🏻

@@michaelshilling5811 you’ll see them too! british columbia is full of places like this 🫶🏻

Yea But Safety's in Numbers ! Especially Women !! 😢 There's a lot of Crazy Now a day Out there ! ❤

@@user-ww9lo1rc2t you definitely have to take safety precautions! absolutely. honestly though I feel way safer in nature than in the city!

@@brandonstonge7513 exactly!! hobbies have help me SO much as well. I’ve had some low moments too. so many of my friends live in other countries and we only ever get to text/facetime. I’ve struggled with loneliness a lot because of it, but now I’ve also made some new connections through my hobbies!

@@Slmchucha I had lots of time away from the camera too! this was only a few seconds out of a nearly 3hr hike :)

@@Joshua_Lawrence completely agree 🫶🏻

@@danielleladret8606 ahh I’m so glad!! I’m right there with you 🫶🏻💗

@@User-Unknown350 TRUST ME, I’m right there with you! I’m still really having to push myself to do things alone. I’ve been in a pattern as well of not doing things because I haven’t had friends to go with me. I’m at a place now where I’m accepting that I need to get out of my comfort zone. I don’t want to wait for people to start doing that. this specific hike is one I’ve done a lot with my parents, so I feel comfortable doing it alone now, but I still get super nervous other places. it’s all a work in progress!! you’ll get there too 🫶🏻💗

@@p.s.224 that’s incredible!! that hike must’ve been amazing! 💗🫶🏻

Stay safe!!

Make sure someone knows your route and when to hear from you, bring emergency water purification, a space blanket, and a basic first aid kit when trekking anywhere rugged. All mountains have hazards. Have fun! Hiking is so good for mind and body. 🙂☀️

@@FloridaKatLady that was my thoughts exactly. I’m not in a place where being in a relationship would even be right for me. I want to stay focused on my career, but I also don’t want to wait to live my life! I think it’s human nature to want someone to make memories with, but things have also changed A LOT in the dating world… 😂

@@clairelindsay1469 omg!! please say hi!! that would literally make my day 🥹💗
