NOTE

Overcoming adversity and facing the impossible

The speaker reflects on the experience of bearing the unbearable burden of starting a hike, drawing parallels between this physical challenge and the emotional struggle of grief and moving forward. The speaker sees the act of lifting the heavy pack as a metaphor for facing the impossible in life and grieves the losses. This experience serves as an epic paradox, representing the protagonist's need to do what seems impossible. Despite not knowing the answer, the speaker ultimately overcomes the challenge by putting the heavy pack on their back and moving forward.
