I’m Not Perfect, I’m Human (Here’s What I Learned About Myself On My Solukhumbu Trip)

No Comments

I’m not perfect. I’m human.

Here’s what I learned about myself on this Solukhumbu trip while traveling with family:

  1. Short tempered.
    • Explosive anger when “hangry”. That said, I can stay cool, calm and collected when hangry, however there are certain people and situations which cause me to get anger regardless of whether I have eaten or not.
  2. Timeliness.
    • I can be on time, but I have to prepare and work at it. It does not come easy for me.
  3. Organization.
    • Again, I can do it but it’s not natural for me.
  4. I strongly dislike living and traveling with people for more than three weeks.
    • Ideally, I love solo travel, but a small intimate group, like say my wife and son works beautifully as well.
  5. I have become more introverted as I have gotten older.
    • I deeply desire solitude, silence and creative time.
  6. I love people, but after living with people more than three weeks, people inevitably end up annoying me.
    • As humans, we are complicated. We each have our own habits, desires and ways of doing things. This is why, fundamentally, our unique and individual ways of living will clash. Thus, causing inner and outer conflict.
  7. If I create something in the morning my day is more fulfilling.
    • I love creating and having this feeling of contributing to humanity. That can be in the form of writing, video, generating revenue, etc. I just need to “DO SOMETHING”.
  8. I’m ultra competitive.
    • Being “The Best” is paramount for me. I love winning.
  9. My love for nature and the great outdoors is infinite.
    • Nature gives me life, something I’ve always known. But, I’ve learned on this trip, if I can have access to good healthcare, good wifi, and healthy food, I can live in nature for the rest of my life.

I am fully aware this may come across as oversharing or “airing out my dirty laundry”.

But guess what?

I don’t care in the slightest.

We are all flawed by our very nature as being “human”.

I am just one human who is willing and vulnerable enough to admit that.

Please share some of your flaws and learnings of yourself with us in the comment section below.

You never know, it may help someone suffering in silence.
