It's not a mid-life crisis, it's the biggest trial of your entire life. Go and conquer.

I had my mid-life crisis in my early-mid 30’s. humbled me & refocused my life goals. rock fkn solid! 💪🏽
I had big plans for my "mid-life crisis" looking at 40, thinking, maybe get a motorbike? Move to South America?? Hike the Appalacian trail? Who knows! Endless possibilities...
But instead life brought me exactly that, "the biggest trial of your life."
It's been the toughest last 3 months of my entire life, and I'm not close to being out of the muck yet. But I do trust that once I do make it out the other side (and I know I will), I will come out stronger and changed forever.
Not the midlife crisis I wanted, but (maybe?) the one I needed? #timewilltell 😑🙏
🙏🙏
You’ve got this brother, everything always turns around in the end ❤️ they better reimburse the door 🤞🏼

Hiking the AT was an amazing way to turn 30. I came out a changed man.
I have dreamed about it since I was a kid! One of those things I always ‘expected’ I would do ‘one of these days’ but just haven’t gotten around to it yet! I’ve done a lot of traveling and other long distance treks though– Still do hope to complete the AT one day before the old bones wear out!
Between the ages of 27 and 34, I went through an intense crucible.
At first it felt like a punishment. Until I realized what I mistook for destruction was actually renewal.
Because what punishments of god are not gifts?
And in the end…
I walked out with everything I’d been chasing.
Not because life got easier, but because I finally became the kind of man who could carry the weight.

Is this because of the motorcycle?
It’s a practical ride man. I told you that. Good on gas too.
I think mine was last year. Wife was diagnosed with cancer and I opted to stop drinking, hit the gym 201 times in a year, write a small "book", and put the kids on my back.
Cried a few times in the parking lot before work, but here we are.
That’s where I am right now.
No one tells you that you die in your 30s and have to find a new way forward. It feels like death too. Everything you ever knew falls away. It’s way beyond wanting a flashy car or to go on a trip you always wanted to go on. It’s figuring out what to do for the rest of your life as the person you’ve become.
