Finding courage
After some time had passed, Kim still didn’t feel any bit less afraid of going out for a hike by her lonesome. But she knew that she needed to reconnect with nature and face her fears. If she didn’t do it now, who knows when she was ever going to at all.
Her cousin called her one day and gave her some words of encouragement, he even said that if she wanted to go hiking, they could do it together. Kim took a moment to think about it but knew she needed to face her fears. It was the best thing she could do for her mental health after all.
