Travelling alone
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.

Going on a solo backpack/hiking trip
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.

not planning before travelling
it's a bit uneasy but it feels freeing? like you just step into the unknown and start figuring it out. last time i went on a lil trip by myself, did all the plannings like the to-do lists, must-sees, must-eats, bla bla bla. when the trip ended, i didn't feel like enjoying it? but feel more like accomplished? as a control freak, this thing is hard but i'm excited for whatever it is to come!!!

Stop Waiting on others
I went to bars by myself just to read and listen to the music. I learned recently that’s the freedom you gain when you go places alone. I spend so much of my life unintentionally waiting for permission to do things. Waiting on someone else to want to do things with me. It’s sort of weird being an adult and being allowed to just go to another country because you feel like it. It’s a freedom that I’ve never been brave enough to explore before. I wonder if this experience was a as weird and wonderful for anyone else as it was for me. (img: sketch of a cathedral i went to on my solo trip)

Little things
Guys no one tells you but it’s actually kind of easy to cheer yourself up if you just focus on the little things. Yesterday I had a horrible day lined up, full of jobs and meetings :( so I wore my favourite shoes. Everyone tells me they're ugly but they make me happy!

Dance culture???
Was thinking today about how wild it is that most people attending public school in Scotland are required to learn cultural dances. And then most of the pubs in towns and village will host a dance every month or so? And we can all just go and do our dances because everyone knows them? And it’s super cool and sociable? Isn’t that fun?!! (I love ceilidhs)
