Everyone posts the balloons. The sunrise. The desert that looks like another planet. I took the photos, too. But I remember the silence more than the view—the way the wind sounded at 5AM, and how, even surrounded by people, I felt like I was floating above my own life. I thought seeing something this surreal would shake me awake. Instead, I just felt the distance between me and everyone else. The sky was full of color, but I couldn’t shake the sense that I was watching it all through glass. Maybe some places are too beautiful to fix what you bring with you. #Travel #TravelConfessions #UnfilteredJourneys
