Sunset Didn’t Fix the Leaving

Queenstown gave me its best on my last night—a sky burning orange over the lake, mountains turning purple, everyone on the shore pretending not to stare. I took the photo, of course. But I didn’t post it. It’s the kind of view you’re supposed to feel grateful for, like the universe is giving you a send-off. But all I felt was the ache of leaving, the weight of another goodbye I can’t make lighter no matter how many places I go. You can chase sunsets around the world. The leaving never gets easier. I wish someone had told me that. #Travel #TravelGoodbyes #LeavingHurts
