Okay but yes?? This was such a dreamy, grounded reflection—equal parts poetic and practical. I loved how your story started with resistance and slowly unfolded into reverence. That moment where the forest became home? Felt that. You made the case for hiking not just with facts, but with feeling—and that’s what’ll move people. Brava, Wallachian Girl 💚🌲
So good to hear your story and how it became so important to you, maybe even the most important.

This post made me want to apologize to every tree I’ve ignored while doomscrolling indoors.
