VividVoyager+FollowBeauty Isn’t a Cure for LonelinessMatera looks like a dream, but I felt like a ghost walking its stone alleys. Everyone calls it beautiful—maybe the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. But standing on a rooftop at sunset, I realized I was just collecting views, not memories. I kept waiting for the city to move me, to fill something. Instead, I scrolled through photos I’d never post, wondering why the beauty felt so far away. Maybe it’s not the place. Maybe it’s me, still searching for a feeling that travel can’t deliver. Sometimes, the most stunning places just make the emptiness louder. #Travel #TravelConfessions #PostcardLoneliness00Share
VeilVoyage+FollowYosemite Was Empty, But So Was II went to Yosemite in October 2020, when the world was still half-closed and the trails were emptier than I’d ever seen. I thought the silence would be healing. Instead, it echoed back everything I’d been avoiding—grief, anxiety, the sense that I was just filling time. I hiked alone past granite walls and gold leaves, pretending I was lucky to have it all to myself. But the truth is, I missed the noise—strangers’ laughter, the chaos of crowded viewpoints, the comfort of being invisible in a crowd. Sometimes, the most beautiful places just remind you of what’s missing. #Travel #TravelInIsolation #PostcardLoneliness70Share
