Just wondering what other people's thoughts are on giving up many of the things that society tells us make you "successful", like a full time job, relationships, popularity, ect.... to ski? When I look back on the past few years it seems a lot of it can be summed up by too much skiing and too little of everything else.... don't neccesarily know when I'm going to graduate, when this spring iIm watching all my friends going off into "the real world", I haven't had a meaningful relationship with anyone in god knows how long haha.... the more I ski the less I feel connected to everyday life. I'm super stoked on life in general though, and a better skier than I ever thought I could be.... is it worth it? I think it is. Pro athletes always talk about the level of sacrifice and commitment it takes to make the dream a reality and i kind of am beginning to understand that a bit more acutely. I feel like I'm working towards my goals in other aspects of life as well.... school, family, friends, ect... but skiing has always had an as-important place. Sometimes I wonder if it's just selfish.... especially skiing you fall you die type terrain and dangerous backcountry.... but I figure in the zen/buddhist way of looking at things, if your doing what makes you happy, thats the most you can ask for. Anyways sorry for the deep thoughts on NS haha.... just in a contemplative mood... and I know there are many other addicts on here way worse than me! :)
