Something I’ve always wanted to try by myself for the longest time. Maybe after I finish my masters and save up enough money… I want to leave this hustle and bustle behind for a few months.
Saw an old acquaintance recently is in the midst of backpacking across some mountain trail in Japan by himself living the dream… and it kinda made me realise what I could be doing with my life once I pull everything together.

I'm going on my first solo trip in a couple weeks. I'm going for a few days and i have no idea what it will be like. I've travelled a lot with other people and I hope that doing it on my own will be a new experience.
Life is scary and connection is hard and sometimes even the most perfect relationships can become crutches.
Going to nurture my alone time like a good sourdough starter.

Take more solo trips and get out of my comfort zone. Do good and be good to people :)

I was afraid of all of the things a woman has been told to be wary of when traveling solo, and thankfully none of those fears were realized. Instead, I unlocked a new appreciation for the magic of traveling alone.
Whether or not it was conscious, I ended up meeting and interacting with really cool older women. One of whom, I am convinced was myself from the future. Another I had the pleasure of sharing a campsite with, her name was Lynn. She told me how she got to the states, a long and amazing story from NZ to Chile (during Pinochet) to New Mexico. The next day was her 70th birthday, she was also traveling solo 💕✨.

And you’re set for life (with the added effort of maintaining it).
I used to try to surround myself with people who I thought were cool and also tried so bad to fit in. I still do feel conscious about that sometimes when I front for a person I place on a pedestal or really am infatuated with (in a platonic way).
I’ve also had friends I get easily frustrated with who point out my mistakes as jokes but I’ve realised are super flawed and insecure. It becomes a relationship where you slowly turn into a projection of them. (I’m not sure how to phrase it). And I’m the kind that forgives very easily the moment someone is nice to me.
Howeverrrrr… over the past few years and more so over the past year I found a group of people I could be open and comfortable with… and I have to say an open and fulfilling relationship with the right people and friends will make you a much better person overall. I’ve also been so inspired by the circle of friends I’ve got now.
It’s not necessarily the friends who always ask you to go out to shop or hang but the friends who you do things with and talk about anything with.
Gratefully & Gratituously,
I love my friends.

With the checkerboard at the back? That’s right. I love using them unironically. And I love pictures of rocks.
