Trip Journal

There is something about being by yourself that is wholesome.   

  

  There’s less pressure to be who I think I’m supposed to be.  It’s nice not to be so damned worried about what others think, which is part of the reason I’m on this trip, to figure out who I am.

   I can eat too fast, I can smell bad, I can fart, I don’t have to be considerate or polite or girlie.   I can just be human and it’s been kinda nice.

When I was in the park listening to music, I moved 3 times to different spots.   If I was with company, it would have been a hassle and a discussion and a compromise, but for me today, it was just fun.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had my moments of “this is too quiet and lonely”, I’m not planning on becoming a recluse, it’s just nice to have this opportunity to get connected.
