“often try to return to the happiness of our youth. However, it is gone because that person and time are also gone. The reward is not being able to recreate that happiness; rather, the reward is our ability to still appreciate it. The goal is to create happiness for who we are right now, not for who we used to be.”
― Jeff Mitchell, Lessons Beyond the Horizon: A midlife education on the Appalachian Trail
