Ending a 3 month travel fling. Practice impermanence
I (23F) originally spent an amazing 10 days with a guy (24M) that lives here in Malaysia. I left for a meditation retreat. After I spent 5 days hiking. I decide to head back to the city he lives in and back at the hostel i had been working at before. Best decision.
I’ve never let myself start ‘dating’ anyone back home in fear of getting hurt. When I left on my trip I told myself to be open to what opportunities arise. The reason I really let myself go on this ‘honeymoon’ other than the obvious that we clicked and liked each other was the opportunity to grow and learn. Learn to: be with and know someone, enjoy the moment, communicate, know myself and let go.
I think the fact that I knew it was impermanent allowed me to give myself fully to the moment. Because if I held back then I’d actually be wasting my time. Monday my visa runs out. as we count down our final days the bittersweet reminder of goodbyes are settling in. It’ll be interesting to see what happens next as time and distance occurs.
When we travel we don’t just travel for the places we’ll go but for the people we’ll meet too. I now think letting ourselves be open to the possibility of pain leads to more enjoyment. Is that weird?
So to all of you who idk meet someone while travelling and are thinking should I go back? Should we travel together ? Ect
listen to your heart first and don’t let fear of it being bruised stop you from living. Live without expectations and breathe through it.
Cheesy post but idgaf I’m someone that has delt with lots of anxiety and solo travel is my outlet for self growth.
