<br />
I've been kicking myself because I spent most of this year chasing a dream that relied on the help of others, only to get no help and no definitive "Sorry, I can't commit to this"....<br />
<br />
While I'm launching several new projects over at CreepGeeks Podcast, this whole year has been eating at my soul.<br />
<br />
I feel very lost, and I don't know if the other shoe is going to drop, or if things will get better or worse.<br />
<br />
I just need to hike away to the silence and be myself for a while.<br />
<br />

<div>“Carving our my niche” -This is me, late at night, putting the little finishing touches on the brand I’ve been working on this entire year...I’ve been pretty depressed because I haven’t gone #hiking in weeks.

And every time I try to catch a break, well...I really wonder if I spend anymore time, creativity or effort on this if I will even be “me” coming out on the other side. I just wish I had my truck, my camera, a mountain and a few miles in front of me. #IneedAVacationFromReality #HikeForMentalHealth #UnlikelyHikers via Instagram https://ift.tt/2MvQgO4</div>
