Thanks! It was a number of things: knowing the emptiness of social media (for the most part), spending a lot of time out in the National Parks, taking care of my grandmother in her final month of life, dating an older woman for a few months, ayahuasca and bufo ceremonies, and knowing life is short.

All of this happened in the last year, so it was just a perfect storm of things at one time.

I'm living in a new paradigm I feel as I go into my 30's.

Sorry for your loss of your grandmother, congrats for your new life directions and realizations.

If you don’t mind me asking, which are your favorites?

An ex of one of my relatives loves going off on Yosemite hikes like the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne.

Thanks, I am grateful for all the time we had together. She was 86 and a widow for a long time, I am happy she isn't suffering anymore.

They are all pretty special but I really enjoyed Glacier National Park for the wildness, the bears, Going-To-The-Sun road.

I lived in Utah for a year and would highly recommend going there at least once to explore Moab and Zion areas. Grand Canyon is not far from Zion, it definitely lives up to it's name.
