"There will always be naysayers."

This artifact comes from Jessica "Dixie" Mill's Instagram to feature her time in Colorado while hiking the Continental Divide Trail. Mills uses her Instagram account as a way to document her backpacking expedition, and this post comes from a sequence of photos that tell the story of her time on the Continental Divide Trail. The left side of the post features a picture of her hiking on an open ridge line, carrying a pack and trekking poles. The right side features her handle, a motivating caption, and hashtags.

<bold> homemadewanderlust <bold> There will always
be naysayers. Always. "You're not good
enough." "You're not fast enough." "Are you
crazy?" "But, you're a girl." "That's not
what normal people do." "You'll never
succeed." "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" Just
remember, though, the people who are
always yelling, "you can't," won't be heard
by those people that are already busy
doing it. Stop listening to the naysaying and
start DOING IT.

The foreground features the author in hiking gear, carrying a pack, and using trekking poles as she hikes along a lightly-worn trail upon an exposed ridge in Colorado. The grass she walks in is short and green. Further off in the distance there are higher ridges and rolling hills. At the top of the image is a cloudy, gray sky.
