00:00:00
there's this moment that was like the
00:00:03
clearest most identifiable like before
00:00:05
and after
00:00:06
moment I've ever had in my life and it
00:00:08
was like through an old girlfriend I'd
00:00:11
met this other lady I wouldn't call her
00:00:13
a friend I only met her a couple of
00:00:15
times so yeah we catching up and she
00:00:16
asks you know have you heard about this
00:00:18
friend of hers has been diagnosed with
00:00:20
cancer so stage four brain cancer 34
00:00:24
years old 4 months to live two kids
00:00:25
under 4 years old the first thought that
00:00:27
went through my head when I heard you
00:00:28
know like dad died mom died and then
00:00:30
hearing this was just like why on Earth
00:00:32
am I not walking the teror trail like a
00:00:34
YOLO sort of thing yeah obviously
00:00:36
there's no answer to that question it
00:00:37
was just all those little fears that
00:00:39
when compared to the reality of death
00:00:43
just disintegrate and fall away and
00:00:44
you're just like left free to get stuck
00:00:46
to your life and for me that's what the
00:00:48
TA was for me it was Adventure it was
00:00:50
getting out of being cooped up by
00:00:51
lockdown it was the T Trail it was like
00:00:54
this shining dream that I wanted to do
00:00:55
and all of a sudden I booked my flight
00:00:57
the next day everything was just so easy
