Mountain
There is no shortcut up this steep mountain. There is up and down. In the middle a choice. How do you want to do this? It is hard. Harder than you imagined. Testing your limitations and abilities. Challenging your will power. What is it going to be? Out of breath cursing? Whining? Falling down and crying? Giving up and turning back? Why are you making it so much more difficult for yourself?
While you were cursing the mountain, you missed the fresh air, the beautiful view, and perspective. You pollute your mind with the noise of negativity without even noticing that it consumes you. It spills over trough constant complaining you do not hear yourself. Unaware it does not aid you in any way. You repeat the vicious cycle of toxicity and spread it to those unconditioned and oblivious.
Every mountain whispers lessons and reveals unique perspectives. Will you hear them over the noise you keep creating? We already established how hard it is sometimes to place one foot in front of the other and how everyone else is guilty about it, or are they? Hope you run out of whining and self-pity soon so you can hopefully grow even a tiny bit for your own sake.
The view up the mountain is quite nice! Too bad you missed it...

Hi m31. Everyone tackles challenges differently. If you embrace it you will most likely succeed and probably enjoy it. The ones that break down don't realise that they are showing signs of weakness and will let opportunities pass them.
Hi cryptoandcoffee! Thank you for stopping by and taking time to comment. Much appreciated! :)
In a way I can imagine we all have been in that position where we've been blinded by such toxicity, but hopefully people are able to shake it and realize what they are missing out on by making their own paths miserable.
I know many people who only spot the bad and don't see the good. I think it is in your personality and is a hard one to shake. I used to see the bad more than the good, but have changed over the years and spot both more evenly.
great photography and very nice place
Thank you, hehe. Sun was just about to disappear behind that ridge. I could not resist, but to grab my camera.
every hardship can have a positive aspect about if we just take the time to see or hear it. Sometimes we just get so caught up in our emotional state that nothing obvious is seen or heard.
Absolutely. Wish people had more emotional control or at least better understanding of the processes and loops they get stuck in.
Thank you for reading and commenting! :)
I hated hiking in the smokey mountains that is until you reached your destination and then the view was breath taking and totallky worth it (until the hike back).
Its neat though because even though the journey sucked up until your goal, when you think back on it. The journey to the top was just as beautiful even though you didnt enjoy/appreciate it at the time.

Just think sometimes people miss half of the journey, because they were too busy being negative about it without even giving it a thought. However, that also is part of journey :)
I am glad that now we slowly having warmer weather and hopefully this year is warm last last one, there are many mountains in Scotland and like the one of your pictures, once you are there, miles away there is no soul, just wind and rapidly floating clouds. The weather changes quickly though. But most enjoyable after being outside to stop in one of B&B's and have a hot drink. I do not really bother about eating but nice hot chocolate of cappuccino it is must! Thank you for reminding what I have to put in my to do list for spring-summer time :)
Hehe, welcome! I actually have plans to hike Slieve Donard as soon as weather gets nicer. Can't wait! ^^
I think these lines spoke to me the most. Recently it feels like I have fallen into picking out the negatives in everything. I don't want to mope around and be miserable and focus on the bad shit.
Life doesn't smoothly switch between good shit, bad shit, good shit. All the shit comes at once and if I keep letting all the bad shit keep me in some kind of spiral of depression, bitching about it, whining at it, just waiting for it to go away, it never will because it never does, and I'll miss all the good shit!
And seriously? Fuck that!
It's always good to be self aware enough to know that what you think say and do not only affect yourself, but those around you that ultimately creates the world in which you exist.
Taking those 'steps up the mountain' are not always easy but if the voyage has to happen anyway, why not make it as enjoyable as you can, right? Nice thoughts @m31
