Eons ago, when I was young, I lived in submarines. For someone who loves the mountains, it was a silly place to be. I was in an unhealthy space, and close to a nervous breakdown.

I spent a lot of time wondering what life was all about.

In the end, I decided it didn’t matter.

I did, however, come to a conclusion.

When I am near the end, and am asked, ‘Have you done the things you wish to do?' 

I want to answer, ‘Yes!’

Or at least to have tried.

Since that day, I have lived my life differently. I felt free, and now I have stories to tell. Now, my life is both a celebration, and an achievement.
