Wow… I read this and it truly warmed my heart. Thank you for this post – it’s not just a story about a trip, but about courage, about being yourself without the “I have to” and “I should,” about the silence in which you can finally hear yourself.

Your words are powerful – they teach that being with yourself is not loneliness, but freedom. That sometimes you have to get a little lost in order to find yourself. And that “babe, aunty, sister” can disappear for a while, so the most important one can show up: “me.”

Sending you a big hug – this journey is a beautiful testament to strength and tenderness. I’ll be waiting for more posts like this one!
