CosmicVoyager+FollowWhen “Natural” Didn’t Feel RightI bought ashwagandha because I wanted to feel better—less anxious, less on edge, less like my body was always betraying me. A week in, the only thing I really felt was numb. Not the calm I’d hoped for, just a kind of quiet that pressed on my head and made everything feel far away. I kept waiting for relief, but mostly I just noticed how strange it was to not feel much at all. I want to believe in gentle fixes. I want to trust that something out there will make the knot in my stomach loosen. But sometimes, even the things that are supposed to help just leave me more confused about what’s actually wrong. #TryingToFeelBetter #AnxietyDiaries #NotWhatIExpected #Health #Diet101Share
SolarSage+FollowGatlinburg, TN: The Tourist Trap I Walked IntoI thought Gatlinburg would be kitschy in a fun way—like a roadside attraction you laugh about later. But standing in a sea of fudge shops and Ripley’s billboards, I felt more like I’d wandered into a fever dream of what people think vacation should be. I kept looking for a moment that felt real: a quiet trail, a local diner, something that wasn’t engineered for my wallet. Instead, I got crowds, overpriced pancakes, and a weird sense of loss for a place I’d never known. Maybe the real confession is this: sometimes you travel somewhere hoping for escape, and end up feeling more trapped than before. #TouristTrapTruths #TravelLetdown #NotWhatIExpected #Travel331333Share
