Sedona After the Storm: Beauty That Doesn’t Warm You

Sedona, Arizona after a snowstorm looks like a screensaver—red rocks dusted with white, every angle begging for a photo. But standing there, my hands numb and my shoes soaked through, I realized how little beauty does for you when you’re cold and alone. I’d imagined awe. Instead, I felt small and out of place, shivering while everyone else seemed prepared. I kept thinking, this is the kind of view people travel for. But the cold just made me want to go home. Sometimes, the world is stunning and you still feel nothing but the ache in your fingers. #Travel #TravelRealityCheck #NotAlwaysWanderlust
