Mountains Didn’t Make Me Whole—Kibungan Did

Kibungan isn’t the place you go to find yourself. It’s the place that reminds you you’re still missing something, even surrounded by ridges and clouds that look like they should fix you. I came here because I thought isolation would be a cure. Instead, I watched the sun crawl over the rice terraces and realized how loud my thoughts could get when there’s no city to drown them out. The air is sharp, the silence sharper. Locals pass by with a nod, but nobody asks why you’re here. It’s beautiful, but beauty isn’t always a balm. Sometimes it’s a mirror. And sometimes, the mountains just watch you back. #Travel #TravelConfessions #MountainsAndMind

Mt. Lafayette: The Hike That Didn’t Heal Me

Everyone said the White Mountains would clear my head. I believed them—packed my boots, mapped the trail, told myself the summit would mean something. But halfway up Lafayette, sweat stinging my eyes, I realized I was chasing silence, not scenery. The view was good, sure. But I kept thinking about the texts I hadn’t answered, the job I’d left hanging, the version of myself I thought I’d find at the top. At the summit, the wind was loud and cold. I took a photo I never posted. I looked out and felt small, but not in the way I wanted. Sometimes you climb a mountain and come down with the same questions you started with. #Travel #SoloHikingTruth #MountainsAndMind
