Travel

I might post a couple things here just to get it out about traveling and not feeling connected. Just to get it out, I don't want to place these things anywhere that has a lot of traffic like my Instagram. I have now traveled Europe a couple of times, and some of Africa. 1.5 months in 2023 and 2 months in 2024. 2023 really cracked it all open for me. Between Athens and the Burnt City and breakneck speeds of going through 10 counties, I really feel like I left my heart in a lot of places across the globe. there is just too much to say and not enough words. I'm also not the most cohesive or articulate. it comes from a childhood of being beat down by my father. Him aside though, 2024 was a whirlwind of red wine, gin, Italian espresso, Portuguese garoto, turkish coffee, sweet Moroccan fruit tea, busses, planes, illegally hopping a train in romania, castles, churches, tours, endless cans of tuna with beans, seeing friends across the UK, making new friends and following the Australians around from the hostels, wearing myself out to exhaustion, sitting for long periods to recover, Journaling, aching, pushing myself to take an acting class with punchdrunk (the anxiety I had over this was enormous). it was slipping into dark city alleys all over the world and feeling safer than I ever had.
