F&ck Solo Travel

Sometimes we just need to take a break from life and heal. Sometimes we need to run away from our problems and and frustrations and go find ourselves again. So many of my favorite authors have done it and written amazing books about their trips. I've been truly inspired by all of them. Ever feel like you're just going through the motions in life? Ever feel like you're on a hamster wheel and you'll never get off? Ever feel like you've lost touch with who you are as a person? Well if you feel any of those things consider taking a solo trip. Taking a break from life could be just the thing we need to get ourselves back on track mentally. Whether it's a backapacking trip, a european vacation or hitting the road in a camper van. Whatever feels right to you. Sometimes we need to run away and be alone with our thoughts, sometimes we need to take some time and rediscover what our passions are and who WE are as people. Sometimes we've lost touch with reality and need to center ourselves again. These are all reasons to take a solo trip. It doesn't have to be very long or fancy. It just has to be you taking a break from life for some period of time. Perhaps a summer or a weekend or even a year.

I feel like we all have moments where we need to take a break from life and go figure out who we are. I think sometimes we get so caught up in life, responsibilities and all the hustle and bustle that we lose track of who we are as people. And worse yet, sometimese we fall into some dark habits. It could be drugs, alcohol whatever it is. Taking some time to figure out who you are again could be just the healing you need. Or sometimes it just scratches the surface but it's an important step. Sometimes we need to do it so that we can learn to be okay alone. We sometimes get so attached to the idea of having someone their with us 24/7 or someone to talk to 24/7 that we forget what it's like to be alone. Sometimes we need to learn that. Because as crazy as it sounds, if we're constantly with someone how can we truly know who we are? How can we know what it is we want? How can we understand truly what we like/don't like. How can we truly know ourselves? The answer is we can't. We can't know who we are if we're always with someone and sometimes taking a break from life is a way to help us figure that out. Sometimes we need to be alone and really see who we are.

Is it going to be easy? absolutley not. It's going to be rough, scary and sometimes heartbreaking. But we have to do it. It will make us so much stronger in the end. We will truly know who we are inside and out. We will know what we like and don't like. We will know ourselves better then anyone and know what it is we won't accept from people. How can we figure those things out if we're always with someone? So take the solo trip. Go to Europe, take a hike, build a camper van and go see the world. It may be scary at first but honestly? maybe that's the point. Maybe it's supposed to scare you. maybe it's supposed to make you stronger. Maybe just maybe after all is said and done it will bring you peace.
