“A part of the journey is the end” - Tony Stark
I am not really sure if this is the end of my CC journey or just an intermission but tomorrow morning I am embarking on a week long, solo mountain bike adventure in what can best be described as the wilderness. I am taking advantage of this time to do a complete digital detox from all forms of social media, streaming services, web surfing, etc. I am not sure if I will be returning to CC after this week’s adventure so I am deactivating (but not deleting) my CC account.
I have been going through a lot in my personal life over the past 6 months - that is what led me to CC in the first place. To paraphrase the classic line from Cool Hand Luke, I am using this week to “get my mind right” before making some pretty big decisions.
Before I deactivate my account, I wanted to take a moment to thank all of the pros I have met and cuddled with since joining CC last August. I have learned from, been comforted by, and grown as a person from the time and conversations I have shared with each and every one of you.
I also want to thank everyone I have conversed with in the forums and by private messages. I have gained perspectives and, in many cases, inspiration from our exchanges.
I have many great memories from my time here and really only one regret - I wish I could have a do-over of one private conversation I had with a CC member because I believe we were much more in agreement than it appeared due to poor communication on my part. It was never my intent to sound argumentative but in hindsight I know that is how I came across. I sincerely apologize for the hurt I caused.
I wish everyone here happy cuddles and all the best on each of your individual journeys and hopefully some of our paths will cross further down the trail 😊
