I believe it is the things you pick up from the people you are around, the things you go through, and the things you learn in your life that decide who you will become.

Well loved by careless dirty fingers pulling at the pages during our frequent hikes through this forest. “Okay!” I say eagerly, excited for the responsibility of keeping us on track as we traverse across the trails.
