To AT Class of 2025
I send you my most heartfelt congrats for every step you’ve taken. Each footfall is a triumph, and you know that. Whether 1 night, 1 state, 547 miles, GA-ME, I hope your communion among trees and dirt settled your soul.
Revel in the peace of the AT! #hiking #AT2025 #thruhiking

Out here trying to be a writer. Some days, feeling undeserving of any recognition; but mostly, just glad I'm making my mom proud. #learningfromeachother #alwaysopentocorrection
