A strange feeling came over me, and a voice came to me saying, "Keep looking both ways." I wasn’t sure what that was about, but I slowed down even more (I was doing 30 before but was now doing about 15-20).

To my right was Yellowstone Lake. The waves were choppy and coming into shore at a pretty good clip. To the left was the woods with trees covered in white from the snow. I listened to the voice and kept looking both ways every 5 seconds. It was like watching a tennis match without a ball going back and forth.

It's interesting how life happens and how people come into your life. For the last three years, I have wondered about the events in my life, from my heartbreak, to the pandemic, and life in general. Initially, I had a long post about the rise and fall of my ex and me and wondered what his purpose in my life was.

My tips and tricks I have learned from solo traveling. How you can start solo traveling.

We tend to forget we are a person, too. We don't take enough time to learn who we are. I believe it’s because we don't want to face ourselves. This is where solo traveling, or solo fill-in-the-blank, can help. For example, I thought I needed a big group of friends to feel complete, or I needed people to go on a hike or a paddleboard adventure, but I don't. At times I think that if I keep doing things on my own, I will never want someone to come with me.
