there's this moment that was like the clearest most identifiable like before
00:00:05
and after moment I've ever had in my life and it was like through an old girlfriend I'd
00:00:11
met this other lady I wouldn't call her a friend I only met her a couple of times so yeah we catching up and she
00:00:16
asks you know have you heard about this friend of hers has been diagnosed with cancer so stage four brain cancer 34
00:00:24
years old 4 months to live two kids under 4 years old the first thought that went through my head when I heard you
00:00:28
know like dad died mom died and then hearing this was just like why on Earth am I not walking the teror trail like a
00:00:34
YOLO sort of thing yeah obviously there's no answer to that question it was just all those little fears that
00:00:39
when compared to the reality of death just disintegrate and fall away and you're just like left free to get stuck
00:00:46
to your life and for me that's what the TA was for me it was Adventure it was
00:00:50
getting out of being cooped up by lockdown it was the T Trail it was like this shining dream that I wanted to do
00:00:55
and all of a sudden I booked my flight the next day everything was just so easy
