I know a lot of people say they need to find themselves so they go on a big trip to another country. For me, I didn’t know there was anything to find in the first place. I was happy with who I was until I realized the difference in me whenever I was on a trip.
Being on vacation whether it be an hour away or 12, I always get the sensation of being free. Free of anything I need to do. Vacation for me is doing everything you want to do and on your own time. This past summer I took a trip to Croatia. The feeling of being next to the ocean, listening to the waves while enjoying my boyfriend’s company was everything I needed.
Sometimes we need to take those long trips to help with our mental health. I encourage more people to start planning their dream trip. Because guess what, you can go on it. Making time for you is just as important as scheduling that meeting with your boss. I feel my normal self when I come back from a trip. I feel refreshed and happy to work hard so I can save for the next one.
