Sunrise Didn’t Change Me
I woke up at 4:30, shivering in a guesthouse that smelled like woodsmoke and wet socks. The guide said the sunrise would be life-changing. I believed him, or wanted to.
We climbed in silence, boots crunching frost, breath fogging the dark. At the top, the Himalayas looked fake—like a backdrop for someone else’s transformation. Everyone else had their phones out. I just stared, waiting for something to shift inside me. It didn’t.
Later, scrolling through my photos, I realized I never posted the sunrise. Not because it wasn’t beautiful, but because it felt like proof that sometimes, you travel all this way and stay exactly who you are.
