Clare -- Having been part of the same grieving process, I could both see myself where you were while also standing back and admiring your perspective. Beautiful...
Ever since I let myself travel solo more often, I realized that traveling for me was the permission to be fully present in my uncertainty and muddling back home. I was solo in a bus in Slovenia reflecting on an awful workplace; countless road trips to Arkansas where at least one of the ten hours was spent sobbing; etc. I’m not very good at vacation. Instead travel feels like the rare time to be fully present in it all and more than anything a way to reflect on my everyday back home.
Beautiful. And this made me and my own grief feel seen. Ty.
Thank you, Caroline <3

I love this perspective of letting travel be an opportunity to let yourself just be
Beautiful writing.
Thank you!
