Schulen at 6AM isn’t the kind of place you photograph for likes. It’s cold, damp, and so quiet you can hear your own shoes in the leaves. I kept telling myself these early hikes were for the view, but really, I just needed somewhere to put the restlessness. There’s a bench by the water where I’d sit, pretending I was the only person awake in Belgium. The fog never looked as good in photos as it felt on my skin. I never posted any of it. I guess some mornings are just for getting through, not for sharing. #TravelUnfiltered #MorningSolitude #RealTravelMoments #Travel
