Lately, I’ve realized that putting my thoughts into words about how I’m navigating this trip has helped me uncover areas I could improve—especially when it comes to simply enjoying the experience. I’m not sure I’ve ever truly allowed myself to enjoy a trip from start to finish. I’ve always been caught up in what might go wrong, constantly planning for every possible scenario. Looking back, I spent days doing that, and now it feels like such a drain of energy that could’ve been spent living in the moment.
