Made For The Climb

I remembered something about myself today.

I need the push. The challenge. The hard.

I come alive in the unknown,

not because it’s comfortable,

but because I’ve spent a lifetime figuring things out—

stepping into spaces I wasn't qualified for,

and choosing to thrive.


I move where others hesitate,

in the places that demand grit, creativity, and faith.

I don’t need a clear path—just a sense of direction and a reason that matters.


Easy has always bored and depressed me.

I prefer to follow the call of the wild,

and I trust myself to rise.


Maybe that’s the truth I’ve been circling all along—

that my strength isn’t found in certainty,

but in the way I move through chaos with focus and drive,

turning every unknown into a map I’ve yet to draw.


Now I ask myself—

what is the next mountain I want to climb?
