Hiking injuries are so demotivating. They put a brick wall in front of you that serves as a direct denial of your purpose.

Actually, I’d argue a minor injury is WORSE. It’s not serious enough to force you off the trail for good, to cancel the adventure and go home. At least that would be a definitive direction. Instead you wait it out, carefully nursing yourself back to health and suppressing every instinct to keep going in spite of the pain.

But the path is forward. I'll get there.
