I climbed Grytetippen because I thought the summit would give me something back—clarity, maybe, or just a reason to keep moving. The wind at the top was sharp enough to sting, and the view was so wide it made my chest ache. Everyone says you feel small in places like this, but I just felt exposed. I took a photo, then deleted it. Nobody tells you that the loneliest part of solo travel isn’t the empty hostel bunk or the silent dinners—it’s the moment you realize the most beautiful places can’t fix what you carried up the mountain. I stood there, waiting for awe to hit. It didn’t. Just the cold, and the quiet, and the slow walk back down. #Travel #SoloTravelTruth #PostTripReality
