I'm excited and terrified, first time traveling by myself, ever. Going to meet a new friend, ending a very sad and draining relationship.
I've slept maybe two hours. My flight is a ways away but I plan to get there extremely early because I've never gone through an international travel process or a plane ride by myself before. I'm in a hotel right now, this is the first time I've ever stayed in one by myself as well. I've had a chronic stomach ache for the past few days, very little appetite, and an unhealthy amount of stress weighing me down. This is the first time I've ever traveled by myself, and god am I tired, scared, and never felt more free and excited in my life.
I'm going to visit someone I haven't known very long in Canada, who doesn't have as much time here as I'd like them to. It doesn't sound important, but right now it is important to me. I've weighed the pros and cons of not taking the chance on this person, and about entrusting my life in the hands of a new friend. I've informed some of the only people I can even call friends of where I'm going, and when they ask if it's a good idea, I can't tell them yes. I know it's not, but that doesn't mean it's not the right one.
I just ended a relationship on pretty bad terms with the other person, it exhausted and stressed me out to the max. I felt like I was dying at one point, and while that sounds like an exaggeration it truly is draining to tell someone you no longer want to be with and then have them hovering over you for days while you try and pick up the pieces of yourself and move on. I had an eating disorder, and it comes back to bite me in the ass whenever I feel overwhelmed. You ever felt like the most intense hunger and also like you have razor blades being jumbled around in your stomach? Bleh, doesn't feel nice.
The risk I'm taking traveling as a lone female are something I'm aware of, especially a young and inexperienced one at that. Does anyone have any advice they'd like to give me? Any kind words or tips would be appreciated.
Edit: words.
