MOC day 31: Connecting with myself
- Description
- With "Mapped"
I was so stuck in wife and mother mode that I had lost myself without even realising it. There is no way I would have ‘abandoned my post’ so to speak and gone off travelling by myself. But doing so enabled me to connect with my true self again, and I have never let her go since. I do often ponder whether there is space for more solo travel in this new situation where we are so connected and in tune and have so much fun together. Because, despite the wonderful feeling of being alone with yourself and completely free, at the end of the day I’d always rather travel together. We have had amazing times over the past five years. But regardless of whether alone, together, or with friends, travelling is the only time I can really disconnect from everyday stresses and from work (other than the couple of hours a day I can still do on the road) and connect with myself, with nature, with the new places I am discovering. It both takes me out of myself and helps me find my true self.
