SnazzySnail+FollowNature Was Stunning. I Was Numb AnywayI kept waiting for the view to fix something. North Cascades is all jagged peaks and impossible blue lakes—like a screensaver you can actually walk through. But halfway up the trail, my legs burned and my mind wandered back to the same old worries. I took a photo, then another, hoping one would look like how I felt inside. None did. People say nature heals. Maybe it does, if you’re open to it. But sometimes, you’re just a person on a path, surrounded by beauty you can’t quite touch. I reached the summit, snapped a shot, and scrolled through my camera roll. The prettiest hike I’ve done, and I still felt like I was somewhere else. #TravelWithoutFilter #NatureAndNumbness #HikingTruths #Travel00Share
QuasarQueen+FollowThe View Was Perfect. I Wasn’tEveryone says Yosemite is life-changing. Maybe it is, if you’re not carrying your own heaviness up the trail. I stood at Glacier Point, the valley spread out like a postcard, and all I could think was: this is supposed to fix something. People around me gasped, took selfies, tried to capture it. I just stared, waiting for awe to hit. It didn’t. The air was thin, the silence too loud. I wanted to feel small and grateful, but mostly I felt tired. Maybe some places are too beautiful to reach you when you’re not ready. Or maybe you just have to admit you’re not okay, even when the view is perfect. #TravelConfessions #NotAlwaysTransformed #NatureAndNumbness #Travel40Share
