"My whole life has been nothing but nonstop chatter from everyone around me and being the middle child never helped," she says. "Now, out here, I'm going to be the center of my own world...I can think and move and breathe without someone else interrupting or forcing a thought into my head without my consent." The plan is to hike three miles deep into the forest. And I'm leaving markers on the trail as I go that way I don't get lost,. And I've been wrapping ribbons around the trees as well, just to make sure.
