I got spooked. I had a slightly faster walker coming up
behind me quietly and I was so dazed and thinking about
this I didn't hear him. No issue just he passed by
peacefully and I just oh and then you know if you saw that
video but I accidentally closed the camera I try not to
record other people on the trail. That's why sometimes the
videos would get ended abruptly is that I'm being kind of
in the middle of a thought and I'll see another person
walking towards me and I you know for a little while I was
like trying to just power through it but I always felt
awkward anxiety about well it's that defensiveness again it
's just
you know I'd say oh monologuing you know hi oh hi you know
sorry just monologuing here um I'm not recording you or
trying to cover the back camera so that way they know that
I'm not in fact recording them especially if they were
you know young lady or something like that I don't I don't
want them to feel like they're being um because I've heard
from people I've heard from people I'm not recording but
just well yeah sometimes recording um oh look at this nice
trail here follow that but um
you know would I take this trail if I was a woman by myself
probably not and it's not that I'm so strong and I'm
so powerful that nobody's gonna be so powerful that nobody
's gonna bother me but um
but um why would they um I like they don't have anything
they want
unfortunately women always do and that's a problem
but it's just ever since ever
that's uh yeah I didn't make this path either but here I am
the uh pine cones on the ground are beautiful
oh so I'm gonna be a little lean-to here too better go get
Officer Maylee let him know
and um and um and uh the um park ranger park officer park
park to park I don't think he's a real
place officer but um
the uh
I think it's just
none of us made the rules of the game
oh look at this here
somebody put something oh I bet somebody came through
was walking through here and they dropped
dropped their stuff
that's a bummer
all right well hopefully somebody comes back through it
all right I'm gonna go under
I'm so fit
I've lost 20 pounds since
I started taking these walks
so
all right this one's just a blah blah blah blah blah one
I think I'm gonna flip the camera around
all right thanks bye
Thank you.
