A Once In A Lifetime Experience

Even though we don't do it much, whenever we do, I always enjoy it because of the fact that I get to enjoy a walk with my sister, talk with my sister about personal struggles, and take my mind off struggles I don't want to remind myself of. Everytime i'm out with my sister hiking, I start to remind myself of all the good times I had with her when I was younger. All the birthdays she was there for,  All my proudest moments she smiled for, and all my lows she helped me through.

Everytime we hike together, I remind myself that my sisters are irreplaceable and are 1 of 1. That's why when she asks me if she wants to go hiking together, I always follow up with an easy answer, yes.


The trail that my sister choose was the Lions den trail, and for some context, this is my first ever hike, so when we got there, I really had low and boring expectations of the hike, I thought that is was gonna be boring, nothing to see and just walking with no good sights, but as we got deeper and deeper into the forest, I began to look and actually see sights that my mind couldn't even comprehend. But it was when we got to the cliff that looked over the sea, when I saw the sea, I was blown away by its beauty, It was one of those sights that you need to see with your eyes head on, the sight was mesmerizing, relaxing and amazing, but it made me really start to think what sights are out there that are one in a million, but it was when I got down to the rocky beach that it got better, the nice cold breeze with the crashing waves, it was soothing. When we got back to the car to go home, I couldn't help but look back at the view that opened my eyes to the beautiful world that I am more than happy to call home.
