Baroon Lookout: The View Didn’t Fix It

Baroon Lookout is supposed to be one of those places that makes you feel small in a good way. I stood there, mist curling off the trees, waiting for the rush everyone posts about. But all I could think about was how far I’d come just to feel the same. No one tells you how travel can make your loneliness louder. The lake below was glassy, perfect, but I kept scrolling through old photos, searching for proof I was different now. I wasn’t. Sometimes the view is just a view, and you’re still you—just with better scenery. #Travel #TravelTruths #NotJustTheHighlights
