I swear, every time I hit a trail, I meet the most unhinged or fascinating person alive. It starts with a “Hey, nice day!” and suddenly I know their star sign, divorce timeline, and the time they almost started a cult in New Mexico. Like—why is the wilderness their chosen confessional booth?? I’m out here for fresh air and a dopamine reset, not unsolicited plot twists. Sometimes it’s kind of beautiful. Other times… creepy cryptid vibes 😳 Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets caught in accidental forest TED Talks from complete strangers. Is it the nature that makes people open up? Do I have a “tell me your life story” face? Am I the therapist of the trail? Anyone else experience this??
