I don’t even really know where to start, but this has easily been the hardest year of my life. And I almost feel as though it’s a giant, collective WTF situation worldwide.
Everything kind of… unraveled. My marriage, family, relationships, work, just life in general. I’ve been holding it together on the outside, but internally it’s been a lot of “what the hell am I doing” and trying to get through the day. Rinse and repeat.
In a slightly chaotic and arguably unhinged move, I booked a solo two-week trip to Thailand and I leave in a few days. No real plan beyond “gtfo my environment and breathe.”
Part of me is excited, part of me is like… what am I doing.
I was thinking it might be a good time to read something that actually hits. Not necessarily “self-help fix your life in 5 steps” — more like something that either:
– helped you through a really difficult period
– changed your perspective
– or just made you feel less alone
Open to anything really…fiction, non-fiction, philosophical, even something a bit heavy if it’s worth it.
Would really appreciate any recommendations (and if you’ve done a solo “escape” trip during a rough time, I’d love to hear that too).
