Gave this some thought and I guess for me it boils down to gratitude
I'm grateful to have spent the majority of my adult life here
Alaska has given me everything a young man yearns for, a beauty to win ( grateful for my Indian princess) an adventure to live. I've lived so many of them here, mostly involved in some type of hunting
It's given me a comfortable living, even if making it wasn't always comfortable while doing so.
Everything I am & own I owe to this place, I'm only an adopted son, set foot here first at 10 years old, back at 17, 5 days after hs graduation.
I may be adopted, but love this place deeply, she's cared for me well even if I've received some harsh lessons.
