I think most of us would benefit from being asked to find out who we really are by being put in uncomfortable circumstances, or challenging circumstances. We don't do that so much any more, and i think it's a loss. It wasn't until after i actually wrote wild that i understood what i had done on that hike as that iad given my self my own right of passage. I knowth i'd said, like, you have to go test yourself to see who you are. And yet, i think part of maybe the human journey is that like that.
